The Episcopal Church in the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East was formed in 1976 from the former Jerusalem bishopric combined with the Diocese of Jordan, Lebanon and Syria; the new Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf; and the Diocese of Egypt, with North Africa and the Horn of Africa.

The Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf includes the Gulf States, Iraq and Yemen.

The Diocese of Jerusalem covers Lebanon, Syria Jordan, Palestine and Israel. Here the church ministers to the needs of local communities and supports various institutions including hospitals, clinics, kindergartens and schools.

The Diocese of Egypt with North Africa and the Horn of Africa covers a vast area, including Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Egypt. The church offers opportunities for people to meet together, activities for youth, literacy classes, basic health education and medical care especially for women and children, and care for the many refugees flooding into Egypt. The Diocese seeks to continue to build bridges within local communities through their message of hope and practical concern and care.
