 Our Area
The Diocese of Zululand stretches from the Tugela River
in the south to the borders of Mozambique and Swaziland in the
north, and inland to the Buffalo River – and consists of
a rich diversity of people and parishes, the bulk of which are
situated in rural areas.
The area is divided into ten archdeaconries:
- The Cathedral Parish of St Michael and all Angels, Eshowe (Southern)
- Thukela (Southern)
- Empangeni (South Eastern)
- KwaMbonambi (Eastern)
- KwaNobamba (Central)
- Nongoma (Northern)
- Ingwavuma (North Eastern)
- Vryheid (North Western)
- Nquthu (Western)
- Nkandla (South Western)
Clergy
The 283 congregations are minstered to by 47 stipendiary clergy,
16 self-supporting priests and 4 deacons. There are also a number
of lay ministers who ensure continual ministry in the congregations,
but not every congregation in the diocese has a lay minister.

Diocesan Council
Consisting of clergy and laity elected at Regional Deanery level,
as well as some directors/convenors of the various departments,
the Diocesan Council is a policy making body in between sessions
of the Diocesan Synod. There is also a Diocesan Trusts Board
which is responsible for all properties and investments of the
diocese.

Training and Development
The Diocese has various departments responsible for training and
development of both clergy and laity, namely: Christian
Education (incorporating a Sunday School subcommittee), Mission
and Evangelism,
Christian Institute for Spirituality and Training
for Ministries (incorporating Lay Ministry training, Fellowship of Vocation,
and a Local Training Scheme which trains all self-supporting
clergy as well as those who have offered themselves for stipendiary
ministry).
Continuing Ministry Education takes the form of Clergy Schools
and Post Ordination Training.
