We pray for The Anglican Church of Rwanda (Église anglicane du Rwanda), rooted in the Church Missionary Society’s work from 1918 and officially established as a separate province in 1992 after autonomy from the province covering Rwanda, Burundi, and eastern Zaire. It comprises 13 dioceses and serves around one million Anglicans, including about 85,000 active members.
The church played a vital role in post‑1994 genocide healing, prioritising reconciliation, clergy training, and community rebuilding, and it remains active in education, healthcare, vocational training, rural development, and HIV/AIDS support. Its heritage includes many schools, hospitals and a focus on early childhood programs and financial literacy.
The current Primate and Archbishop is The Most Rev. Dr. Laurent Mbanda, who is also chair of our Gafcon Primates’ Council. Mbanda was enthroned in 2018, and under his guidance, the church pursues biblical evangelism, theological education, leadership formation, discipleship, and institutional transparency.
