We pray for The Church of the Province of Myanmar, with roots dating back to British army chaplaincies in the 1820’s and officially established as a separate province in 1970 (initially as Burma). Comprising six dioceses, including Yangon, Hpa‑An, Mandalay, Myitkyina, Sittwe, and Toungoo, it ministers to approximately 70,000 Anglicans through episcopal structures and a local adaptation of the Book of Common Prayer.
The province emphasises evangelism, clergy training, theological education, and lay leadership within local communities. Social service is primarily state-led, though the church provides essential disaster relief when needed.
The current Primate and Archbishop is The Most Rev’d Stephen Than Myint Oo, who has served as Archbishop of Myanmar and Bishop of Yangon since 2008. A former lecturer and dean at Holy Cross Theological College and a trustee of the Anglican Relief and Development Fund, he champions theological education, global Anglican solidarity, and faithful mission.
