The Church of Uganda is a member province of the Anglican Communion. Currently there are 37 dioceses which make up the Church of Uganda, each headed by a bishop. Shergold Smith and C. T. Wilson of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) were the first European Anglican missionaries to Uganda when they arrived in June 1877. They, along with others who arrived later, were based in the court of the Kabaka of Buganda near present-day Kampala. Alfred Robert Tucker was made the third bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa in 1890 and in 1899, the Diocese of Uganda was created and Tucker became the first Bishop of Uganda. In 1893, the first Ugandans were ordained and Buganda was established as a centre for evangelization in the Great Lakes Area. Anglican growth in Uganda thrived by the turn of the 20th century and among the most notable contribution of the Anglican church was in the area of education. In the 1950s, the emergence of a generation of Ugandan Church leaders began to replace the expatriate hierarchy.<ref> Wikipedia contributors, "Church of Uganda", in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of__Uganda, accessed 22 March 2020. </ref><br> | The Church of Uganda is a member province of the Anglican Communion.
