Diocese of Hong Kong Island
The Diocese of Hong Kong Island is one of the three dioceses under the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui, a province of the Anglican Communion. Its territory covers Hong Kong Island and the outlying islands. The cathedral of the Diocese, St. John's Cathedral, is the oldest surviving Western ecclesiastical building in Hong Kong. It was constructed in the 1840s. The incumbent Bishop of Hong Kong Island, also Archbishop and Primate of Hong Kong, Paul Kwong, was enthroned and consecrated on 25 March 2006 and 15 January 2007 respectively. After retirement of then-Archbishop Peter Kwong in 2007, he was elected on 3 February and consecrated on 26 September in the same year, replacing the outgoing Archbishop.
