History
Foundation
The first Anglican missionaries arrived in Egypt in 1819, and the first church building, St Mark's in Alexandria, was consecrated in 1839, followed by All Saints in Cairo in 1876.
Egypt became part of the
Diocese of Jerusalem, founded in 1841, and under the metropolitical authority of the
Archbishop of Canterbury
The archbishop of Canterbury is the senior bishop and a principal leader of the Church of England, the ceremonial head of the worldwide Anglican Communion and the diocesan bishop of the Diocese of Canterbury. The current archbishop is Justi ...

Llewellyn Gwynne
Llewellyn Henry Gwynne (11 June 18639 December 1957) was a Welsh Anglican bishop and missionary. He was the first Anglican Bishop of Egypt and Sudan, serving from 1920 to 1946.

to the bishop of Jerusalem, to lead the Anglican community across north Africa. In 1920 the region was formed into a new diocese named the Diocese of Egypt and the Sudan, with Gwynne as the first diocesan bishop in Egypt and the Sudan.
The cathedral of the diocese was located at Khartoum, but St Mary's Church in Cairo was made a pro-cathedral for Egypt until 1938, when the new All Saints Cathedral in Cairo was opened and consecrated.
[
]
Division of diocese
The diocese was divided in 1945, to form the two separate dioceses. The bishop and the cathedral at Khartoum both continued with the new Diocese of the Sudan. The pro-cathedral in Cairo became the cathedral of the new Diocese of Egypt, and Bishop Geoffrey Allen became the first bishop in Egypt.
Owing to the complex political situation in Egypt, the diocese (still under the authority of the Archbishop of Canterbury as metropolitan) sought to distance itself from the Church of England

, by adopting the denominational name "Episcopal Church in Egypt".[ Nonetheless, political tensions led to the seizing or destruction of many Anglican churches and properties in Egypt, and the expulsion of many British clergy. By 1956 there was no resident bishop, and only four priests in the entire diocese, with episcopal supervision temporarily provided by the archbishop in Jerusalem.

Provincial restructuring

was formed, uniting four dioceses (including Egypt) into a new province. Jerusalem was reduced from an archbishopric to a bishopric, and the province was to be led by a presiding bishop, elected by rotation from amongst the four diocesan bishops of Jerusalem, Egypt, Cyprus, and Iran.
In 1978 All Saints cathedral in Cairo was destroyed on the orders of the Egyptian Government. A new cathedral in Cairo was constructed and consecrated in 1988, with its architectural style modelled on a Bedouin

Expansion
