STRUCTURE AND LEADERSHIP
Archbishop Primate
The current Primate of the Anglican Free Communion International is the Right Reverend Raúl Eugenio Toro Jr., who was elected by the Synod of Bishops in 2022.
Of Latino origin and based in the United States, Archbishop Toro has promoted a vision of reform, decentralization and inclusive expansion in the Communion.
His leadership is notable for his pastoral approach, his intercontinental work with churches in Latin America, North America, and Europe, and his determined defense of a truly Anglican, free, and open Church.
The Primate presides over the College of Bishops, represents the Communion internationally, and coordinates synods, pastoral visits, and doctrinal decisions of major significance.
