List of Anglican Communion dioceses

This is an alphabetical list of bishops and archbishops of the Anglican Communion, with links to articles about their dioceses or provinces where possible.

As of 2020 the Anglican Communion (as recognised by the Anglican Consultative Council) consists of 865 dioceses and 18 additional Ordinary jurisdictions (see list below) giving a total of 883 bishops; this total includes 77 archbishops (or equivalents, such as 'Presiding Bishop'), of whom 41 have the status of 'primate', and membership of the Primates' Meeting. There are, additionally, many suffragan or assistant bishops, as well as bishops of non-Anglican churches that are also in full communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury through arrangements such as the Porvoo Communion.

There is also a number of bishops in different denominations of the Continuing Anglican movement. Continuing Anglicanism is outside the Anglican Communion.

Archbishops

Primates and metropolitans

Primatial archbishops shown at first level, and additional metropolitan archbishops (of the same national or regional church) at second level (indented). The most common title for Primates and Metropolitans is 'Archbishop', but some of those listed, whilst carrying out a similar function, bear an alternative title (such as Presiding Bishop, or Bishop Primus) for historical reasons.

Non-metropolitan

Non-metropolitan archiepiscopal sees are rarer in Anglicanism than in other historic denominations. At present the following exist.

  • National Indigenous Anglican Archbishop (Canada) - formerly a bishopric, it was raised to a non-metropolitan archbishopric in 2019.
  • Archbishop in Jerusalem - an archbishopric until 1974, then a bishopric; in 2014 synod voted to restore the title Archbishop in Jerusalem for the bishop of the diocese of Jerusalem[1] to reflect his representative role in the Holy Land on behalf of the Anglican Communion.[2][3][4] The Archbishop in Jerusalem is eligible for election as Primate of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem & The Middle East, but bears the title archbishop regardless of whether or not he is the primate and metropolitan.
