Intro

The Anglican Church of Mexico is the Anglican Communion province for Mexico. It began as a Mexican reform movement known as the Church of Jesus, later secured apostolic succession through the Episcopal Church, and became an autonomous province in 1995 with five dioceses.

Structure

Wikipedia describes the church as an episcopal province made up of geographical dioceses, archdeaconries, and parishes. Its primate is elected from among the bishops, while each diocese keeps its own cathedral see and diocesan administration.

The province currently consists of five dioceses.
