Jacob Dlamini (bishop)

Jacob Zambuhle Bhekuyise Dlamini was the last Bishop of St John's to hold that title throughout his episcopate. He studied for the priesthood at St Bede’s College Umtata and was ordained deacon in 1961[1] and priest two years later. He began his career with posts within the Diocese of Zululand before becoming Archdeacon of Empangeni. In 1985 he was elevated to the episcopate and made important changes, notably in 1991 the creation of a new diocese (Umzimvubu) within part of St John's.[2] A committed evangelist[3] he retired in 2000, shortly after chairing a synod on the church leadership's social responsibility to the underprivileged.[4]

gollark: I assume this would not permit them to harvest government money.
gollark: I feel like most essays are low enough in information content that they could be autogenerated without massive issues.
gollark: And I doubt they'll let you bring GPT-3 into exams.
gollark: Hmm. Yes. Essays COULD occur.
gollark: Is there some way to just do the exams in them instead of actual lectures?
