Diocese of the Windward Islands
The Anglican Diocese of the Windward Islands is one of eight dioceses within the Province of the West Indies.[1] The current bishop is Leopold Friday.
History[2]
The diocese was established on 8 November 1877 from the islands of St Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada and Tobago. Tobago transferred to the Diocese of Trinidad in 1889 when those two islands were joined together politically and St Lucia joined the Windward Islands diocese in 1899.
The new diocese shared a bishop with Barbados until 1927, when the retiring Bishop of Barbados, Alfred Berkeley, was elected as the first full-time Bishop of the Windward Isles.
The Cathedral Church of the see is St George's Cathedral in Kingstown, St Vincent.

gollark: Unless the universe is just being simulated by accident as part of solving some complex optimization problem or something weird like that.
gollark: Basically the only universal is probably that less computation is preferred.
gollark: The laws of physics their computers run on might happen to allow some specific computations to run very fast, or make it run very slowly.
gollark: A lot of the ideas around stuff which might be an optimization in our universe do sort of assume that the universe simulating us works similarly.
