Structure
Parish, Diocese, Ecclesiastical Province and General Synod are the four main levels of organizational structure within the Anglican Church of Canada.
The local parish is the primary centre of worship and mission in the Church. Each parish is within one of 30 dioceses, and functions under the jurisdiction of the diocesan bishop.
Each diocese is within one of four regional groupings known as an Ecclesiastical Province. One bishop, elected by each Provincial Synod holds the office of Metropolitan and the title of 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, an executive committee, called the Council of General Synod, and a national staff, implement the General Synod’s strategic plan. The Primate, who is also an archbishop, is the chief pastor of the Anglican Church of Canada and President of the General Synod
