CPSA (THE CHURCH OF THE PROVINCE IN SOUTHERN AFRICA)

The Diocese of St. Mark the Evangelist is a member of the Anglican Communion of the Province of Southern Africa. The use of the word “province” in the context of the Anglican Church denotes (usually) self-sufficient administrative units of the Anglican Church in various parts of the world.
The epithet “Anglo-Catholic” has been applied to the Church of England as a whole because of its claim to be the English branch of the Catholic Church, but it usually refers only to a party within the Anglican Communion which, though it had plenty of antecedents, became self-conscious and more or less identifiable from the time of the Oxford Movement of the 1830s (Richardson & Bowden 1983:20).
The Anglican Communion is a family of churches within the universal church of Christ, maintaining apostolic doctrine and order in full communion with one another and with the See of Canterbury (Anglican Prayer Book (APB) 1989:432). The Anglican Church in this part of the world is known as the Church of the Province of Southern Africa, thus a self-governing Province of the Anglican Communion. It proclaims and holds fast the doctrine and ministry of the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church (APB 1989:433).
