| has gloss | eng: The Parish of the Falkland Islands - formerly a diocese of the Church of England Diocese of the Falkland Islands - is an extra-provincial church in the Anglican Communion headed by the Bishop of the Falkland Islands. Until well into the twentieth century the Bishop of the Falkland Islands had episcopal authority over the whole of South America, until power shifted to the Bishop of Buenos Aires. In 1982, Argentinian episcopal authority over the Falkland Islands was abolished, and today the Rector of the Cathedral reports directly to the Archbishop of Canterbury while receiving pastoral guidance from the Bishop of Chile in Santiago. |
