−
The Liberal Catholic Church is governed by approximately thirty-five bishops, their number varying, sometimes more, sometimes less, who meet as a General Episcopal Synod every few years (similar in purpose to the [[Lambeth Conference]] of the [[Anglican Communion]] and the Twelve Apostles' Council of [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints]]). An elected Presiding Bishop is the chief executive officer and the Convenor of Synods. He is assisted by established regular committees which deal with administrative and judicial matters between Synods.

====Provinces====
 
The world-wide LCC is divided into 20 provinces, each under a Regionary Bishop, and a number of lesser populated territories, each supervised by an appointed administrator. Clergy are trained both practically, ''in situ'', and with the aid of correspondence courses offered by the ''Liberal Catholic Institute of Studies''. These courses are not yet widely translated into languages other than English and are not evenly supported by individual '''LCC''' Regionary Bishops.
