The Anglican Diocese of the Windward Islands is one of eight dioceses within the Province of the West Indies. The current bishop is Leopold Friday.
History
The diocese was established on 8 November 1877 from the islands of Saint 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 Saint Lucia joined the Windward Islands diocese in 1899.
The cathedral church of the see is St. George's Cathedral in Kingstown, Saint Vincent.
