Anglican Communion (Proposed Diocese of Mbaitoli)
The CMS (Church Missionary Society) brought the Christian Gospel to the country east of the Niger. “more than one and half century ago”. From Onitsha the gospel spread’ and was received in the year 1902 at Abazu Ogwa, located in Mbaitoli Local Government Area of present Imo State. With time, this area grew as a district (Parish) under Mbieri and became one of the twelve (12) districts at the creation of Owerri Diocese in 1959.
The present Anglican faithfuls of the fifty-four (54) church stations within the Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State and many others in Diaspora, strongly believe that the spread of the Gospel of Christ will be fully and effectively achieved in this geographical area through the creation of a new Diocese within the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion!
