Ecclesiastical province
An ecclesiastical province is a large jurisdiction of religious government, so named by analogy with the secular Roman province. In hierarchical Christian churches that have dioceses, a province is a collection of those dioceses. The Roman Catholic Church (both Latin and Eastern Catholic), the Orthodox Churches and the Anglican Communion all have provinces. These provinces are led by a metropolitan archbishop.
