The Bishop of Hereford is the ordinary of the Church of England Diocese of Hereford in the Province of Canterbury. The episcopal see is centred in the City of Hereford where the bishop's seat (''cathedra'') is in the Cathedral Church of Saint Mary and Saint Ethelbert. The diocese was originally founded for the minor sub-kingdom of the Magonsæte in 676. It now covers the whole of the county of Herefordshire, southern Shropshire and a few parishes in Worcestershire, Powys and Monmouthshire. The arms of the see are ''gules, three leopard's faces reversed jessant-de-lys or'', which were the personal arms of Bishop Thomas de Cantilupe (d.1282).〔 Until 1534 the Diocese of Hereford was in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. During the English Reformation the bishops of England and Wales conformed to the independent Church of England under Henry VIII and Edward VI but, under Mary I, they adhered to the Roman Catholic Church. Since the accession of Elizabeth I the diocese has again been part of the Church of England and Anglican Communion. Richard Frith's election was confirmed on 17 October 2014〔(Hereford Cathedral – Bishop Richard Frith elected as 105th bishop of Hereford ) (Accessed 27 September 2014)〕 and he was installed as Bishop of Hereford on 22 November 2014 in Hereford Cathedral.〔(Diocese of Hereford - Bishop's Office )〕 The bishop's residence is The Palace, Hereford. == List of bishops == Note: The chronology prior to 1056 is partly conjectural. 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「Bishop of Hereford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
