Anglican Church of Bermuda
Intro
The Anglican Church of Bermuda is an extra-provincial Anglican church consisting of a single diocese in Bermuda rather than a full province. It grew out of the Church of England's early presence on the island, now centers on the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity in Hamilton, and remains directly linked to Canterbury for primatial and metropolitan oversight.
Structure
Unlike most Anglican Communion member churches, the Anglican Church of Bermuda is not a province but a single extra-provincial diocese. The Diocese of Bermuda is overseen locally by the Bishop of Bermuda, while primatial authority belongs directly to the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Its ecclesiastical geography still reflects Bermuda's historic parish map: nine Anglican parishes correspond to the island's nine civil parishes, with the cathedral in Hamilton serving as the diocesan center.
