By 1914, nearly the whole of the area now known as Uganda was evangelized, largely due to the work of its indigenous teachers and with support from a few European missionaries. Prior to the formation of the Church of the Province of Uganda, Rwanda-Burundi and Boga-Zaire in 1961, the Anglican Church in Uganda was a partnership of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) and the Native Anglican Church (NAC). The Archbishop’s Office replaced the Bishop’s Office when the Church of the Province of Uganda was established in 1961. The Diocese structure changed in the process of the transition from the Native Anglican Church to the Church of Uganda (COU) but many programs continued.. Description of the Papers This collection forms part of the Archives of the Church of Uganda housed at Uganda Christian University.
