Archbishop of Uganda
Archbishop of the Protestant church in Uganda
The Anglican ecclesiastical province of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi was formed in 1961 following the division of the diocese of Uganda the previous year. In 1960, the Diocese of Uganda was separated and in 1961 the smaller dioceses made a separate Province, under the Archbishop of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi.
Prior to 1980, the province included Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Boga, in what was then the country of Zaire. As of August 2025, the Church of Uganda is divided into 39 dioceses and is under the Archbishop of Uganda and Bishop of Kampala.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Archbishop of Uganda” is archbishop of the Protestant church in Uganda. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Archbishop, Uganda and Protestant, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “archbishop of the Protestant church in Uganda” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 19, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q28419147. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1961, 1960, 1980 and 2025.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
