Archdeacon of Worcester
The Archdeacon of Worcester is a senior ecclesiastical officer in the Diocese of Worcester, England. Among her or his responsibilities, she or he has care of clergy and church buildings within the area of the Archdeaconry of Worcester.
History
The first recorded archdeacons of the Diocese of Worcester occur from c. 1086 – the same sort of time that archdeacons occur across the church in England. Two archdeacons are recorded simultaneously from that time, but no clear territorial title occurs until 1143, when Gervase is called Archdeacon of Gloucester.
The Archdeaconry of Birmingham was created from Worcester and Coventry archdeaconries by Order-in-Council on 12 August 1892[1] but became part of the new Diocese of Birmingham upon its creation by Order-in-Council on 13 January 1905.[2]
The current Archdeacon of Worcester is Robert Jones.
