The Anglican Church in North America is a North American member province of the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (GAFCON). It is currently divided in 28 dioceses and one special jurisdiction. There are numerous geographically based dioceses, non-geographical dioceses and networks. Many jurisdictions overlap with each other.
Each diocese or network has a bishop and sometimes suffragan or assistant bishops.
