Despite being founded, the diocese remained without any elected bishop.
During the [[November 21]], 2012 Fall meeting of the [[Holy Synod]] of the Church of Alexandria the Diocese of Sierra Leone was elevated to and renamed the Archdiocese of Guinea and the African Coast, receiving its first hierarch, the current Abp George.
