TheDiocese of Oxford is aChurch of England diocese that forms part of theProvince of Canterbury. The diocese is led by theBishop of Oxford (currentlySteven Croft), and the bishop's seat is atChrist Church Cathedral, Oxford. It contains more church buildings than any other diocese and has more paid clergy than any other exceptLondon.

The diocese now covers the counties ofBerkshire (118 churches),Buckinghamshire (152 churches),Oxfordshire (227 churches) and five churches in the nearby counties. Their 284 schools educate more than 68,000 students.

History

[edit]

The Diocese ofOxford was created byletters patent fromHenry VIII on 1 September 1542,^[1] out of part of theDiocese of Lincoln.Osney Abbey was designated the original cathedral, but in 1545 this was changed toSt Frideswide's Priory which becameChrist Church Cathedral.

In 1836 theArchdeaconry of Berkshire was transferred from theDiocese of Salisbury to Oxford. This comprises the county of Berkshire and parts of Wiltshire.

AnOrder in Council of 1837 transferred theArchdeaconry of Buckingham from theDiocese of Lincoln.

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] On 3 March 2014, it was announced thatJudy French would become the first Archdeacon of Dorchester from June 2014.^[3]

Bishops

[edit]

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.

Theprovincial 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 theBishop of Oswestry, who is licensed as anhonorary 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 tocomplementarian beliefs, receive alternative episcopal oversight from theBishop of Ebbsfleet.

Several retired bishops resident in or near the diocese are licensed to serve ashonorary assistant bishops. As of 7 July 2025^[update]:

Since 2010:Anthony Russell, formerBishop of Ely and areaBishop of Dorchester, lives inHolton.^[4]
Since 2010:Henry Scriven, Mission Director for Latin America (CMS) and former Assistant Bishop inPittsburgh andSuffragan Bishop in Europe, lives inAbingdon-on-Thames and is also licensed inChichester andWinchester dioceses.^[5]
Since 2013:David Jennings, retired formerBishop suffragan of Warrington, lives inNorthleach, Gloucestershire and is also licensed inGloucester diocese.^[6]
Since 2013:John Went, formerBishop suffragan of Tewkesbury, lives inLatimer.^[7]

George Carey (retiredArchbishop of Canterbury) lives in the diocese and was an honorary assistant bishop,^[8] but resigned his licence following his implication in thePeter Ball abuse case,^[9] andHumphrey Southern, formerBishop suffragan of Repton, is the Principal ofRipon College Cuddesdon.^[10]
