The Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) is a province of the Anglican Communion, and it is composed by 41 dioceses.[1][2] The current Leader and Archbishop of Kenya is Jackson Ole Sapit. The Anglican Church of Kenya claims 5 million total members.[3] According to a study published in the Journal of Anglican Studies and by Cambridge University Press, the ACK claims 5 million adherents, with no official definition of membership, with nearly 2 million officially affiliated members, and 310,000 active baptised members.[4] The church became part of the Province of East Africa in 1960, but Kenya and Tanzania were divided into separate provinces in 1970.[5]
