Bishop Of Nyasaland
The Diocese of Nyasaland (known as the Diocese of Malawi from 1964 to 1971) was an Anglican diocese in Central Africa centered on Lake Malawi. Growing out of the missionary activity of David Livingstone and the Universities' Mission to Central Africa, it officially became a diocese with the appointment of a bishop of Nyasaland in 1892. Its territory narrowed to the boundaries of present-day Malawi over time with the development of Anglicanism in Africa, and it remained a diocese until being divided between the Diocese of Lake Malawi and the Diocese of Southern Malawi in 1971. Headquartered at St Peter's Cathedral on Likoma Island, the bishop of Nyasaland was at times known as the Bishop of Likoma.

Former Anglican Dioceses
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being used in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose cone to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until th ...
