The Anglican Church of Canada is divided into four ecclesiastical provinces, each under the jurisdiction of a provincial synod and a metropolitan archbishop, who is elected from among the bishops of the province. The Primate of All Canada is elected from among all the bishops across the country. The first ecclesiastical province — Canada — was created in 1860, followed by Rupert's Land in 1875, Ontario in 1912 (carved from Canada) and British Columbia in 1914 (carved from Rupert's Land). The latter province became "British Columbia and the Yukon" in 1943, when the latter territory was joined to it from Rupert's Land. The list of dioceses below indicates in parentheses the Canadian provinces and territories in which the dioceses are located. ==Canada== The Ecclesiastical Province of Canada was founded of all nine Canadian dioceses in 1860, under the metropolitan authority of the Bishop of Montreal. It was within the Church of England until, in 1863, a decision of the imperial Privy Council granted independence from the English church to all (then-)colonial dioceses. The province was split in 1875, to create the Rupert's Land province, and then both metropolitans granted the title ''archbishop'' in 1893; the province today consists of seven dioceses: * ''Central Newfoundland'' (Newfoundland and Labrador), and * ''Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador'' (Newfoundland and Labrador), * ''Fredericton'' (New Brunswick), * ''Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island'' (Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island), * ''Montreal'' (Quebec), * ''Quebec'' (whose borders are consistent with Lower Canada outside of Montreal), and * ''Western Newfoundland'' (Newfoundland and Labrador). The metropolitan is Claude W. Miller, Archbishop of Fredericton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ecclesiastical Provinces and Dioceses of the Anglican Church of Canada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
