The Diocese of York is an administrative division of the Church of England, part of the Province of York. It covers the city of York, the eastern part of North Yorkshire, and most of the East Riding of Yorkshire. The diocese is headed by the Archbishop of York and its cathedral is York Minster. The diocese is divided into three archdeaconries of Cleveland in the north (with a Bishop of Whitby), the East Riding (with a Bishop of Hull), and in the south-west the Archdeaconry of York (with a Bishop of Selby). The diocese was once much larger, covering Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and parts of Lancashire, Cumberland and Westmorland. ==Bishops== The diocesan Archbishop of York is primarily supported by three suffragan bishops: the Bishops of Hull (founded 1891), of Whitby (founded 1923) and of Selby (founded 1939). While not operating a formal area scheme, each suffragan takes informal responsibility for one archdeaconry (East Riding, Cleveland and York respectively). Alternative episcopal oversight (for parishes in the diocese who reject the ministry of priests who are women) is provided by the provincial episcopal visitor (PEV) the Bishop suffragan of Beverley; unlike in most dioceses, Beverley does not need to be licensed as an honorary assistant bishop since he is a suffragan in the diocese. There are eight retired honorary assistant bishops licensed in the diocese: *1989–present: Graham Foley, retired suffragan/area Bishop of Reading, lives in Kirkbymoorside. *1991–present: Clifford Barker, retired Bishop suffragan of Selby and Bishop suffragan of Whitby, lives in Scarborough. *1991–present: David Galliford retired Bishop suffragan of Bolton and Bishop suffragan of Hulme, lives in Wiggington. *1998–present: David Lunn, retired Bishop of Sheffield, lives in Wetwang. *1999–present: Michael Henshall, retired Bishop suffragan of Warrington, lives in Eskdaleside. *2002–present: David Smith, retired Bishop of Bradford, Bishop suffragan of Maidstone and Bishop to the Forces, lives in Dunnington and is also licensed in Europe diocese. *2009–present: Graham Cray, retired Archbishops' Missioner and ''fresh expressions'' Team Leader and former Bishop suffragan of Maidstone lives in Harrietsham, Kent (in Canterbury diocese, where he is also licensed.) *2010–present: Gordon Bates, retired Bishop suffragan of Whitby, lives in Brompton, Hambleton. David James, retired Bishop of Bradford; James Jones, retired Bishop of Liverpool, Bishop to Prisons and Bishop suffragan of Hull; and Martin Wallace, retired Bishop suffragan of Selby, live in Beverley, Burythorpe and Bridlington respectively, but there is no evidence that any has been licensed as an honorary assistant bishop. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diocese of York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
