Bishop of North East Caribbean and Aruba, Anglican Diocese headquarters in St John's, Antigua and Barbuda.
The Diocese of North East Caribbean and Aruba is an Anglican administrative division spanning twelve Caribbean islands that coordinates worship and community programs. The Cathedral of St John the Divine in St John's functions as the headquarters and central place where religious services and diocesan activities take place.
The diocese originated in 1842 when the Diocese of Barbados split to establish the Diocese of Antigua and the Leeward Islands. Over time it expanded to include additional islands and adopted its current name reflecting its broader Caribbean reach.
The Cathedral of St John the Divine on Newgate Street serves as the center of Anglican worship and brings together residents from across the islands for regular services. People gather here to participate in religious ceremonies that reflect their faith and community ties.
The cathedral is located on Newgate Street in St John's and can be reached easily on foot. Visitors should ask locally about service times and community events happening on specific days, as access depends on ongoing religious activities.
The diocese bridges English-speaking and Dutch Caribbean territories through shared Anglican traditions, creating an unusual religious connection across different cultural areas. This geographic mix makes it one of the few dioceses serving such diverse communities in the region.
