Resolution 53
The Anglican Communion - Provincial Organisation
- In view of the many advantages of the organisation of dioceses into
provinces and the difficulties and dangers of isolation, the formation of
provinces should everywhere be encouraged.
- The minimum organisation essential to provincial life is a college or
synod of bishops which will act corporately in dealing with questions
concerning the faith, order and discipline of the Church.
- The minimum number of dioceses suitable to form a province is four.
- The balance between provincial authority and diocesan autonomy may vary
from province to province according to the constitutions agreed upon in
each case.
