Province of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan
Intro
The Province of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan is the Anglican Communion province in South Sudan. After Sudan and South Sudan were reorganized into separate Anglican provinces in 2017, the South Sudanese church continued as a large province made up of internal provinces and dozens of dioceses under the primatial leadership based at Juba.
Structure
The province combines one extra-provincial primatial diocese, Juba, with eight internal provinces whose archbishops oversee groups of dioceses. The primate serves the whole church while remaining bishop of Juba, and the remaining dioceses are distributed among the internal provincial structures described on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia lists 61 dioceses in total: 60 grouped within the eight internal provinces and the Diocese of Juba standing on its own.
