During the 19th century, British immigrants to South America brought Anglicanism with them (Milmine 1993, p. 8).

This was due to legal requirements at the time which did not allow the Church of England to consecrate or appoint bishops outside those territories under the jurisdiction of the Crown, but the jurisdiction of the bishop was stated to be all of South America apart from British Guiana.

[3] Following the change of provincial name, two constituent dioceses, Chile and Peru, both began expansion towards forming autonomous provinces.

Archbishop Welby handed primatial authority (represented by the symbolic handing over of a primatial cross) to Archbishop Tito Zavala,[4] the Bishop of Santiago, and previously Bishop of Chile.

Representatives of the Anglican Church in North America were present at the inauguration of the new province, including former archbishop Robert Duncan and current Foley Beach.

[4] The future Anglican Church of Chile was represented at GAFCON III, in Jerusalem, on 17–22 June 2018, by a 15 members delegation.
