What is a Companion Diocese?

The Diocese of Iowa has a companion relationship with the Diocese of Swaziland, the Diocese of Brechin, and the Diocese of Nzara.

Walking as companions is at the heart of our relationship with these dioceses and our relationships with them have opened up new avenues of spiritual and cultural understanding.

"Through mutual encouragement and prayer, a deeper knowledge of and concern for one another, and the exchange of spiritual and material resources, companions strengthen each other for God’s mission in the world." -  Mary F. Brennan, Mission Communication Officer, The Episcopal Church
