I have added something about the early episcopate of Colin Winter, and intend to add to that up to the time of his deportation. Of course others can add to and edit this, but I have practically no information about the period from Tobias to Mize, and very little after Colin Winter's deportation, so i hope others will be able to add to those.

I see that in that project there is a diocese template, but I am not clear how one gets parameters into the template (e.g. name of current bishop). Could someone else perhaps do that? SteveH 02:18, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Started this page to link as background information for article on a former bishop, Colin Winter SteveH 02:51, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

I saw your request at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anglicanism and so I went ahead and added the infobox for you with the info I could find. To complete the box:

• Add number (or list of names) of archdeaconries OR deaneries OR subdivisions.
• Add number of parishes OR congregations.
• Add number of members OR churches (buildings).
• Website is optional, the only one I could find is http://www.namibia.anglican.org which is really just a placeholder.

I hope this helps, if you have any questions about this or anything else, please drop me a note on my talk page. Also, Gareth Hughes created this template in its current form, and could probably be more helpful than I. Nice work on the article so far, let me know if you need anything. --Wine Guy Talk 06:28, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks very much -- I'll try to find current information to put in it. SteveH 01:24, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bishops

Query ab out the spelling of the current bishop's name -- Nakwatumbah -- should it have an h at the end? Kwanyama names usually end in vowels. SteveH 11:43, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

It's listed with an "h" on the Anglican Communion website here and I also found this and this (scroll down to 13 April 2006). I did find one reference to someone named Nathaniel Nakwatumba (no "h") here, but as I am unfamiliar with the language I have no idea if this is the same person. Hope that helps! --Wine Guy Talk 19:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
