The Province consists of nine dioceses, each headed by a bishop, one of whom is elected as Primate at the General Synod. There is also a Missionary District. The last Synod of the Church elevated the Amazon as the ninth diocese of the Province and agreed on an experimental plan to group the dioceses and missionary districts of the province into three regions.
