It is the 39th Anglican province, created in a ceremony that took place in All Saints Cathedral, Khartoum, on 30 July 2017.
In 2016 a formal application was made to the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) for the internal province of Sudan to be granted autonomy.
In July 2016 a team led by the archbishop of Adelaide and the vice chairman of the ACC carried out a fact-finding mission in northern Sudan.
This team reported back to the ACC to enable a formal response to the application for autonomy.
[8] The province wasn't able to send representatives to GAFCON III, held in Jerusalem between 17 and 22 June 2018, due to the fact that Sudan did not allow their citizens to travel to Israel.
