Diocese Of Sabah
The Diocese of Sabah is an Anglican diocese which covers Sabah and Labuan in Malaysia. Founded in 1962, the see was originally part of the much larger Diocese of Labuan and its Dependencies which was established in 1855. Following the carving out of the Diocese of Singapore in 1909 from this last ecclesiastical territory, the area of the present-day Diocese fell under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Labuan & Sarawak, which was reorganised as the Diocese of Borneo in 1949. In 1962, the latter diocese was divided into two, forming the Diocese of Kuching and the Diocese of Jesselton, which was renamed the Diocese of Sabah when the capital city was given the new name of Kota Kinabalu in 1967. The territorial jurisdiction of the diocese covers the entire 73,904 km2 of Sabah and the 92 km2 of Labuan. Besides this, the Diocese also has a few mission churches in other parts of the Province of South East Asia, including in Indonesia and Thailand. The current Bisho ...
