Leadership & Staff
Our Leadership
As an Anglican diocese we have an Anglican structure of leadership. If you’re new to the Anglican way, a Province is lead by a Primate(Archbishop) and is made up of Dioceses which are each lead by a Diocesan Bishop. Often a Diocese is then segmented into smaller regions which are cared for by an Archdeacon. We also have a diocesan council comprised of lay and clergy members, and a small diocesan staff. You can learn more about our leaders and staff below.
