Bishop of Durham
The Bishop of Durham is the Anglican bishop responsible for the Diocese of Durham in the Province of York. The diocese is one of the oldest in the country and its bishop is a member of the House of Lords. Paul Butler has been the Bishop of Durham since his election was confirmed at York Minster on 20 January 2014.〔(Archbishop of York – Bishop of Durham Election Confirmed ) (Accessed 20 January 2014)〕 The previous bishop was Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury. The bishop is one of two (the other is the Bishop of Bath and Wells) who escort the sovereign at the coronation.
He is officially styled ''The Right Reverend Father in God, (Christian Name), by Divine Providence Lord Bishop of Durham'', but this full title is rarely used. In signatures, the bishop's family name is replaced by ''Dunelm'', from the Latin name for Durham (the Latinised form of Old English ''Dunholm''). In the past, Bishops of Durham varied their signatures between ''Dunelm'' and the French ''Duresm''. Prior to 1836, the Bishop of Durham was a prince-bishop and had significant temporal powers over the Liberty of Durham and later the County Palatine of Durham.
The bishop lived in Durham Castle from its construction in the 11th century. In 1832, Auckland Castle became the official residence of the Bishops of Durham until July 2012 when ownership of the castle was transferred over to the Auckland Castle Trust, a charitable foundation with the aim of beginning a major restoration of the grounds and castle and creating permanent exhibitions on the history of Christianity in Britain and the North East.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Positive Developments at Auckland Castle )〕 The bishop continues to have offices in Auckland Castle but no longer resides there.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Plans )〕
==History==
From the 7th century onwards, in addition to his spiritual authority, the Bishops of Lindisfarne, and then Durham, also acted as the civil ruler of the region as the lord of the liberty of Durham, with local authority equal to that of the king. The bishop appointed all local officials and maintained his own court. After the Norman Conquest, this power was retained by the bishop and was eventually recognised with the designation of the region as the County Palatine of Durham. As holder of this office, the bishop was titled a prince-bishop and considered the equivalent of an earl. Except for a brief period of suppression during the Glorious Revolution, the bishopric retained this temporal power until it was abolished by the Durham (County Palatine) Act 1836.
