Diocese of False Bay

 

The Diocese of False Bay was inaugurated in 2005, in a historic development reflecting the growth of the Anglican Church in the Western Cape. The diocese stretches from the Atlantic coast of the Southern Cape Peninsula in the west to the Overbergregion of the Western Cape in the east, and from Cape Algulhas – the southern-most tip of Africa – in the south to the edge of the koue bokkeveld in the north.

It incorporates communities ranging from the densely populated suburbs of Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain on the Cape flats to the seasidetowns of False Bay and the Southern Cape coast. Its people work in every kind of undertaking form the factories of the Cape Town wheat farms of the Overberg.
