An archbishopric is a high-ranking ecclesiastical jurisdiction led by an archbishop. It typically oversees multiple dioceses, which are local church districts managed by bishops. The archbishop's role includes providing spiritual leadership, administrative oversight, and representing the church in broader community matters. Archbishoprics are often associated with specific cities or regions, known as metropolitan sees. The archbishop has authority over the bishops within their jurisdiction and may convene councils to address church issues. This structure is common in various Christian denominations, including the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion.
