Ecclesiastical Province

An ecclesiastical province is a regional grouping within certain Christian church structures, typically led by a senior bishop or archbishop. It comprises several dioceses, which are local church jurisdictions overseen by bishops. This organizational framework helps coordinate religious authority, administration, and activities across a broader geographical area, allowing for leadership, collaboration, and shared resources among the member dioceses. Think of it as a larger "district" that unites neighboring communities of faith under a common leadership to support the church's mission and governance more effectively.
