The College of Bishops

Shepherds of one apostolic ministry, in every nation.

The Episcopal College of the AFCI is the collegial body of all bishops validly consecrated within the apostolic succession of the Communion — meeting in synod for counsel, spiritual and theological government, and the keeping of communion among the provinces.

Archbishop Toro preaching · International Office of the Primate
Of Latino origin and resident in the United States, Archbishop Toro has championed a vision of reform, decentralisation, and inclusive expansion across the Communion. His leadership is marked by a pastoral spirit, intercontinental work with churches in Latin America, North America, and Europe, and a steady defence of a truly Anglican Church — free, faithful, and open. As Primate he presides over the College of Bishops, represents the Communion internationally, and coordinates her synods, pastoral visits, and major doctrinal decisions.
