Bishops
editThe diocesanBishop of Hereford (Richard Jackson) was, until 2020, assisted by theBishop suffragan of Ludlow (which see was created in 1981) — it has been announced that the suffragan See is not to be filled.[2] Theprovincial episcopal visitor (for parishes in this diocese – among twelve others in the western part of the Province of Canterbury – who reject the ministry of priests who are women, since 1994) is theBishop suffragan of Ebbsfleet, who is licensed as anhonorary assistant bishop of the diocese in order to facilitate his work there.
Three retired bishops are licensed as assistant bishops in the diocese:
Michael Westall (Bishop of South West Tanganyika) lives inKingstone, Herefordshire.[3]
David Thomson, (Bishop of Huntingdon), lives in Hereford.
Michael Bourke (Bishop of Wolverhampton) also lives in the diocese.
