The Anglican Church is a community of worshiping Christians, with more than 70 million members around the world.  In Canada our church is called the Anglican Church of Canada.  In other countries, it is known as the Church of England or Episcopal Church. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Rowan Williams, is the head of the world-wide Anglican Communion.

The Anglican Church is divided into regional groupings called “dioceses”.  Each diocese has its own bishop (or bishops), who have the overall responsibility for the spiritual well-being and administration of the churches within the area.  In this region we are part of the Diocese of New Westminster, which encompasses 74 urban and rural churches under the leadership of Bishop Michael Ingham.
