The 29 dioceses and the special administrative area are organised into four ecclesiastical provinces.Most dioceses are contained within a single civil province or territory. The four exceptions are the Arctic, Moosonee, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, and Ottawa dioceses.Each diocese has a bishop, four of whom are archbishops as metropolitans of their ecclesiastical province. Dioceses are self-governing entities, incorporated under the Corporations Act of the civil province or territory in which they are active.Diocesan synods generally meet annually and have responsibility for those aspects of church life which do not concern doctrine, discipline, or worship.  These latter matters are the purview of the General Synod of the national church, which meets triennially and at other times delegates its powers to an elected body of clergy and laity, called the Council of General Synod, and to the Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada.Table of ContentsProvinces[edit]Archbishops[edit]Dioceses and bishops[edit]See also[edit]External links[edit]References[edit]Provinces[edit]The Anglican Church of Canada is divided into four ecclesiastical provinces, each under the jurisdiction of a provincial synod and a metropolitan archbishop. Originally the metropolitans were bishops of particular dioceses within the provinces. In 1893 the metropolitans were granted the title of “archbishop”, and they are now elected from among the bishops of each province.The Ecclesiastical Province of Canada was founded in 1860, originally consisting of the four dioceses in the then civil Province of Canada (Upper and Lower Canada, i.e. modern Ontario and Quebec, respectively) under the metropolitical authority of the Bishop of Montreal. The province was expanded in 1870 and 1871 to include New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. In 1913, the Ontario dioceses were split off to form the Province of Ontario (see below). The Province was expanded to include the civil province of Newfoundland following its entrance into Confederation in 1949. The province today comprises seven dioceses.The Ecclesiastical Province of Rupert’s Land was formed in 1875, covering the Prairie Provinces and initially under the metropolitical authority of the Bishop of Rupert’s Land. Today it comprises ten dioceses.The Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario was formed out of the Province of Canada and the Diocese of Moosonee (which had been in the Ecclesiastical Province of Rupert’s Land) in 1912. Today, it comprises seven dioceses.The Ecclesiastical Province of British Columbia and Yukon was formed out of the Ecclesiastical Province of Rupert’s Land as the Ecclesiastical Province of British Columbia in 1914. It was expanded in 1943 (and consequently renamed) to incorporate the Diocese of Yukon, which was transferred from Rupert’s Land. The province today comprises five dioceses and one ecclesiastic territory.Archbishops[edit]The Primate of Canada (who has no diocese) bears the title Archbishop and is styled The Most Reverend. The current Primate is Linda Nicholls. The Primate is elected from among all the bishops across the country.The four metropolitans (who all bear the style of The Most Reverend and the title Archbishop) are:The National Indigenous Anglican Archbishop has no metropolitical authority, but also bears the style of The Most Reverend and the title Archbishop. The holder of this office (established as a bishopric in 2005, inaugurated in 2007, and raised to the status of an archbishopric in 2019) has the spiritual leadership of indigenous people nationwide. Mark MacDonald, the first holder of the office, resigned in 2022 as a result of sexual misconduct. Nicholls appointed Bishop Sidney Black as interim National Indigenous Bishop.[2] In December of that year, Bishop Chris Harper of Saskatoon was announced as the new archbishop-elect.[3]Dioceses and bishops[edit]DioceseProvinceTerritoryCathedralSee CityBishop(s)FoundedNumber of Parishes (2017)[4]Membership (2017)[4]Average Sunday Attendance (2017)[4]Nova Scotia and Prince Edward IslandCanadaNova ScotiaPrince Edward IslandAll Saints’ CathedralSt. Peter’s CathedralHalifax CharlottetownSandra Fyfe11 August 1787 (Nova Scotia),[5] covering all British North America (the first Church of England diocese outside England)9425,0375,503QuebecCanadaQuebecCathedral of the Holy TrinityQuebec CityBruce Myers28 June 1793,[6] from Nova Scotia diocese733,032784Eastern Newfoundland and LabradorCanadaNewfoundland and LabradorCathedral Church of St. John the BaptistSt. John’sGeoff Peddle1839 (Newfoundland), from Nova Scotia diocese[7][N 1]3723,9463,811TorontoOntarioOntarioSt. James’ CathedralTorontoAndrew AsbilBishop of York-Scarborough: Kevin RobertsonBishop of Trent-Durham: Riscylla Shaw1839 (a.k.a.

The Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador came into being upon that diocese’s 1976 split.[8]^ On November 14, 2015, the Council of the Anglican Church of Canada’s General Synod gave final approval to recognition of then-Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior as a “recognized territory [with] the status of a diocese” (but not called one) and the former territory of the former Cariboo diocese.[29]^ The Territory of the People encompasses the area formerly known as the Anglican Diocese of Cariboo, which was rendered insolvent by legal claims arising from abuse that occurred in Church-administered First Nations residential schools, and ceased to operate on December 31, 2001. The parishes are currently the pastoral responsibility of the Metropolitan of the ecclesiastical province, and are overseen by a suffragan bishop to the Metropolitan.External links[edit]References[edit]  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/list-of-dioceses-of-the-anglican-church-of-canada\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"List of dioceses of the Anglican Church of Canada"}}]}]
