The mission may be a joint one with another church. While missionary bishops usually are assigned to areas within the jurisdiction of the national church, in recent years Anglican provinces have assigned non-geographic missionary bishops within other province's borders to minister to like-minded Anglicans those who are theologically opposed to the bishops under whose geographic jurisdiction they fall. The Church of the Province of Rwanda (as the Anglican Mission in America) and the Church of Nigeria (as CANA, the Convocation of Anglicans in North America) have assigned missionary bishops to the Episcopal Church primarily over the issues of homosexuality, which the African churches oppose.
