Anglican Church of Chile
Intro
The Anglican Church of Chile is the Anglican Communion province for Chile. It became an autonomous province in 2018 after growing out of the former Diocese of Chile and now consists of four dioceses under the Archbishop of Chile.
Structure
The province was organized out of new Chilean dioceses as it moved from being part of the South American province to becoming its own province. Wikipedia's diocesan summary shows four dioceses covering the country, with Santiago as the primatial see.
The dioceses are regionally arranged rather than duplicated by civil provinces, so each bishop oversees a large part of the national territory.
| Diocese | Founded | See city | General territory |
|---|---|---|---|
| Araucania | 2018 | Temuco | Araucania Region |
| Santiago | 1981 | Santiago | Santiago Metropolitan and O'Higgins |
| South of Chile | 2018 | Concepcion | Central and southern Chile from Maule to Magallanes |
| Valparaiso | 2018 | Valparaiso | Northern Chile through Valparaiso Region |
