The Anglican dioceses of Burundi are the Anglican presence in Burundi; together they form the Province of the Anglican Church of Burundi. The Anglican churches of the area were under the authority of the Archbishop of Canterbury until 1965, when the Province of Uganda and Ruanda-Urundi (later of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and Boga-Zaire) was created; Burundi was then part of the Province of Rwanda, Burundi, and Boga-Zaire from 1980 until its own church province was erected in 1992. Diocese of Buye In 1951, Jim Brazier was consecrated a bishop, to serve as an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Uganda with delegated oversight for all of Ruanda-Urundi (a "suffragan area"); he was based in Ibuye (now in Burundi). When the Diocese of Ruanda-Urundi was erected (from Uganda diocese) in 1960, Brazier became her first diocesan bishop. Brazier retired in 1964 and was succeeded by Lawrence Barham, part of whose brief was to prepare the diocese for division: as part of this process, Yohana Nkunzumwami, Archdeacon of Northern Burundi, was appointed Assistant Bishop in Burundi and was the first Burundian consecrated a bishop. He became the first diocesan bishop of all Burundi when that diocese was erected in 1966; by the time of his death in post in 1978, his See was that of Buye.
