Venerable Dr Daniel Sylvanus Mensah Torto, the Archdeacon of Accra East of the Anglican Diocese of Accra and Director of Programmes of the Diocesan Office, has been elected by a Special Synod convened on Saturday 21st January 2012 at the Anglican Retreat Center, Ashaley Botwe, as the Bishop Coadjutor. His election has been confirmed by the Bishops of the Church of the Province of West Africa. He has right of succession to the incumbent Anglican Bishop of Accra Most Rev.

Going by the Provincial Constitution of the Anglican Church, Most Rev’d Dr. Justice Ofei Akrofi, Bishop of Diocese of Accra and Archbishop of the Church of the Province of West Africa, announced his intention to retire on 29th October 2012. at a Diocesan Synod at St Paul Anglican Church, La on 29th April 2011 at age 70 and the date for the Special Synod to elect his successor. Because he is Bishop of Accra and Archbishop of the Church of the Province of West Africa, that announcement served two purposes by announcing to the Diocese of Accra and also informing the Archbishop and Primate of the Province as the rules demand. All the same, Archbishop Akrofi again informed the Provincial Synod held in Guinea in March 2011 about the intention, to kick start steps to get his successor.










From at least the second week of November, we experience heavy traffic in Accra, and excessive heat.
The Anglican Diocese of Accra, supported by Ophthalmic Aid for Africa from Liverpool, UK, organized this year’s Eye Ministry at Tema. Eyes were tested and corrective eye glasses were provided free of charge at St. Stephens Anglican Church, Tema, and eye patients who needed surgery were treated at the Tema General Hospital.
