Structure

Parish, Diocese, Province and General Synod are the four levels of organizational structure within the Anglican Church of Canada.

The local parish is the primary center of worship and mission in the Church. Each parish is within one of 30 dioceses, and it functions under the authority of the diocesan bishop.

Each diocese is within one of four regional groupings known as an Ecclesiastical Province. The senior bishop in the Province holds the office of Metropolitan and the title Archbishop.

Collectively, the dioceses have created a national body, the General Synod, to act on their behalf in specified areas. Representatives of the dioceses come together every three years in a meeting of the General Synod. Between these meetings, a national staff and an executive committee implement the General Synod's strategic plan. The chief executive is the Primate, also an archbishop.
