The Anglican family of Churches spans 164 countries in all parts of the globe. There are nearly 70 million members of the Anglican household of 28 self-governing churches made up of about 475 Dioceses, 30,000 parishes and 64,000 individual congregations.

The Anglican Communion has developed a number of institutions which have ensured cohesion and communication. The oldest and most important of these is the Lambeth Conference. The 1968 LambethConference agreed to the formation of the Anglican Consultative Council, which brings together clergy, and lay as well as episcopal representatives once every two or three years. More recently there have been regular meetings of Primates--senior Bishops and Archbishops from each member church.


The churches of the Anglican Communion are linked by affection and common loyalty. They are in full communion with the See of Canterbury and, thus, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in his person, is a unique focus of Anglican unity. He calls the once-a-decade Lambeth Conference, is chairman of the meeting of Primates, and is President of the Anglican Consultative Council.The Secretary General of the ACC, aided by a permanent staff, assists the Archbishop of Canterbury in servicing the Lambeth Conference and meetings of the Primates and thereby exercises a vital co-ordinating role.
