An Ecclesiastical Province is a significant administrative region within certain Christian denominations, particularly in the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion. It typically consists of multiple dioceses, which are local church districts led by bishops. The province is overseen by a senior bishop, often referred to as an archbishop, who coordinates activities and maintains communication among the dioceses. The purpose of an ecclesiastical province is to facilitate governance, support, and collaboration among the churches within its boundaries. This structure helps ensure that the teachings and practices of the faith are consistent and that resources are shared effectively among the member dioceses.
