Ecclesiastical province
An
ecclesiastical province
is a large jurisdiction of religious government, so named by analogy with the secular
Roman province
. In hierarchical
Christian
churches
that have
dioceses
, a province is a collection of those dioceses. The
Roman Catholic Church
(both Latin and Eastern Catholic), the
Orthodox
Churches and the
Anglican Communion
all have provinces. These provinces are led by a
metropolitan archbishop
.
