The Council of the Anglican Provinces of Africa (CAPA) was founded in 1979 in Chilema, Malawi, by the Anglican Primates of Africa. It reaches out to individuals, communities and groups through more than 40 million dedicated Church members in the 25 African countries with an Anglican presence. That 40 million is over half the Church-going Anglicans in the world.
CAPA is headed by a council to run the Provinces’ activities. Its secretariat, headed by General Secretary Canon Grace Kaiso from Uganda, is based in Nairobi, Kenya.
CAPA’s Mission is: ‘To effectively coordinate and provide a platform for the Anglican Church in Africa to celebrate life, consult and address challenges in the continent in order to fulfill God’s promise for abundant life.’
