The Diocese of Oxford is a Church of England diocese that forms part of the Province of Canterbury. ==History== The Diocese of Oxford was created in 1541 out of part of the Diocese of Lincoln. Osney Abbey was designated the original cathedral, but in 1545 this was changed to St. Frideswide's which became Christ Church Cathedral. In 1836 the Archdeaconry of Berkshire was transferred from the Diocese of Salisbury to Oxford. This comprises the county of Berkshire and parts of Wiltshire. In 1837 the County of Buckingham was similarly transferred from the then Diocese of Lincoln, to become the Archdeaconry of Buckingham, although this annexation did not take effect until 1845. 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.〔(Ridgeway Broadsheet, March 2014 ) (Accessed 24 May 2014)〕 On 3 March 2014, it was announced that Judy French is to become the first Archdeacon of Dorchester from June 2014;〔(Diocese of Oxford – New archdeacon for Dorchester ) (Accessed 21 March 2014)〕 retired archdeacon Hedley Ringrose has been Interim Archdeacon since 2013. 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 Oxford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
