Quick Facts Diocese of Sheffield Dioecesis Sheffieldensis, Location ...

The Diocese of Sheffield is an administrative division of the Church of England, part of the Province of York.

The Diocese of Sheffield was created under George V on 23 January 1914,[1] by the division from the Diocese of York (along with that part of the Diocese of Southwell in the city of Sheffield). It covers most of the County of South Yorkshire (except Barnsley), with a small part of the East Riding of Yorkshire, one parish in North Yorkshire and one in North Lincolnshire – an area of almost 576 square miles (1,490 km2). It is headed by the Bishop of Sheffield and its Cathedral is Sheffield Cathedral.

The diocese has been linked with the Diocese of Argentina of the Anglican Church of South America since 1993[2] and the Hattingen-Witten District in Westphalia of the Protestant Church in Germany since 1990.[3]

Bishops

The diocesan Bishop of Sheffield (Pete Wilcox) is the ordinary of the diocese[4] and is assisted throughout the diocese by a Bishop suffragan of Doncaster (vacant; bishop-designate: Leah Vasey-Saunders).[5] 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, Stephen Race. He is licensed as an honorary assistant bishop of the diocese in order to facilitate his work there. Besides Beverley, David Hawtin, former Bishop suffragan of Repton has lived in Greenhill since 2007 and is licensed as an honorary assistant bishop.[6]
