Anglican Diocese of Accra

The diocese is made up of over one hundred parishes, congregations and missions with over 120 clergy, both male and female.

In response to that growth, and in consonance with the Anglican polity of "Synodically Governed and Episcopally led" the Diocese of Accra was created.

The succession of Diocesan bishops have been Nathaniel Temple Hamlyn (1909–1910), Mowbray Stephen O'Rorke (1913–1923), John Orfeur Aglionby (1924–1951), John Charles Sydney Daly (1951–1955), Reginald Richard Roseveare (1956–1967).

So for the duration of the colonial era of Gold Coast, the Anglican Diocese was led by expatriate bishops.

With the metamorphosis of Gold Coast to the sovereign independent nation of Ghana on 6 March 1957, the Diocese of Accra which covered the whole geographic area of Ghana, began to have Ghanaian leaders – Ishmael Samuel Mills LeMaire (1968–1982), Francis William Banahene Thompson (1983–1996), Justice Ofei Akrofi (1996–2012) and Daniel Sylvanus Mensah Torto, the current bishop, who was consecrated on 24 June 2012 and enthroned on 11 November 2012.
