THE ANGLICAN CHURCH in the UK, Ireland, and Europe is not organized according to the boundaries of modern countries. It reflects the past, and past national boundaries. For example, Wales and Scotland are part of the United Kingdom (whose monarch is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England) but their churches are independent. Anglican worship in these places takes place in one of the following organisations:

• The Church in Wales (an autonomous province)
• The Church of England (an autonomous province)
• The Church of Ireland (an autonomous province)
• The Convocation of American Episcopal Churches in Europe (part of The Episcopal Church in the USA)
• The Diocese in Europe (part of the Church of England)
• The Scottish Episcopal Church (an autonomous province)
