The Nippon Sei Ko Kai (日本聖公会), abbreviated as NSKK, or the Anglican Church in Japan, is the religious body in the Province of Japan (日本管区) of Anglican Communion.
History
In 1859, two missionaries of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America came to Japan, followed by missionaries from the Church of England and the Anglican Church of Canada. The Synod was created in 1887, with Japanese bishops consecrated in 1923.
