Diocese of the Church of England
The Diocese of Oxford is a Church of England diocese that forms part of the Province of Canterbury . The diocese is led by the Bishop of Oxford (currently Steven Croft ), and the bishop's seat is at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford . It contains more church buildings than any other diocese and has more paid clergy than any other except London .
The diocese now covers the counties of Berkshire (118 churches), Buckinghamshire (152 churches), Oxfordshire (227 churches) and five churches in the nearby counties.
The Diocese of Oxford was created by letters patent from Henry VIII on 1 September 1542,[ 1] Diocese of Lincoln . Osney Abbey was designated the original cathedral, but in 1545 this was changed to St Frideswide's Priory which became Christ Church Cathedral .
In 1836 the Archdeaconry of Berkshire was transferred from the Diocese of Salisbury to Oxford. This comprises the county of Berkshire and parts of Wiltshire.
By an Act of 1837 Buckinghamshire was notified of its transfer from the then Diocese of Lincoln , to become the Archdeaconry of Buckingham , effective from 1845.
In 2013 and 2014, the Diocese of Oxford discussed and resolved to undertake some pastoral alterations; the new archdeaconry of Dorchester was created on 1 March 2014.[ 2] Judy French would become the first Archdeacon of Dorchester from June 2014.[ 3]
The diocesan Bishop of Oxford is assisted by the area bishops of Dorchester, Buckingham, and Reading. The suffragan See of Buckingham was created in 1914, and was the suffragan bishopric for the whole diocese until 1939 when the See of Dorchester was created; the See of Reading was re-created in 1942, after having been 'in abeyance' since 1909.
The provincial episcopal visitor (for Anglo-Catholic parishes in the diocese – among twelve other dioceses in the western part of the Province of Canterbury – which do not accept the ordination of women as priests) is the Bishop of Oswestry , who is licensed as an honorary assistant bishop of the diocese in order to facilitate his ministry in the diocese. Conservative evangelicals who reject the ordination and/or leadership of women due to complementarian beliefs , receive alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Ebbsfleet .
Several retired bishops resident in or near the diocese are licensed to serve as honorary assistant bishops .As of 20 September 2021[update]
Since 2001: Bill Down , retired Assistant Bishop of Leicester and Bishop of Bermuda , lives in Witney .[ 4] Since 2010: Anthony Russell , former Bishop of Ely and area Bishop of Dorchester , lives in Holton .[ 5] Since 2010: Henry Scriven , Mission Director for Latin America (CMS ) and former Assistant Bishop in Pittsburgh and Suffragan Bishop in Europe , lives in Abingdon-on-Thames and is also licensed in Chichester and Winchester dioceses.[ 6] Since 2013: David Jennings , retired former Bishop suffragan of Warrington , lives in Northleach , Gloucestershire and is also licensed in Gloucester diocese .[ 7] Since 2013: John Went , former Bishop suffragan of Tewkesbury , lives in Latimer .[ 8] George Carey (retired Archbishop of Canterbury ) lives in the diocese and was an honorary assistant bishop,[ 9] Peter Ball abuse case,[ 10] Humphrey Southern , former Bishop suffragan of Repton , is the Principal of Ripon College Cuddesdon .[ 11]
