List Of Anglican Dioceses
This is an alphabetical list of Anglican and Episcopalian diocesan Bishops and metropolitan and/or primatial Archbishops, with links to articles about their dioceses or provinces where possible.
As of 2012 the official Anglican Communion (as recognised by the Anglican Consultative Council) consists of 759 dioceses and 18 additional Ordinary jurisdictions (see list below) giving a total of 777 bishops; there are 63 archbishops (or equivalents, such as 'Presiding Bishop'), of whom 38 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 an unknown number of bishops self-styling as 'Anglican' in assorted Continuing Anglican movement churches, although these are not officially recognised as part of the Anglican Communion.

“The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)
“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“I am fifty-two years of age. I am a bishop in the Anglican Church, and a few people might be constrained to say that I was reasonably responsible. In the land of my birth I cannot vote, whereas a young person of eighteen can vote. And why? Because he or she possesses that wonderful biological attribute—a white skin.”
—Desmond Tutu (b. 1931)
