List of bishops in the Church of England

The active bishops of the Church of England are usually either diocesan bishops or suffragan bishops. Several also hold portfolios of national responsibility, as spokesperson bishops for the Church of England and/or as Lords Spiritual in the House of Lords.

Diocesan bishops

As there are 42 dioceses of the Church of England, there are 42 bishops diocesan (including vacancies). Of the 42: both archbishops and the Bishops of London, of Durham and of Winchester, sit in the House of Lords as Lords Spiritual ex officio; a further 21 sit there by seniority (of whom five had their seniority accelerated); the Bishop of Sodor and Man sits ex officio in the Legislative Council of the Isle of Man and also in Tynwald Court; fourteen diocesans are not currently Lords Spiritual; and the Bishop in Europe is ineligible to be a Lord Spiritual.

Lords Spiritual by virtue of seniority of service

Until 2015, the 21 longest-serving among the remaining diocesan bishops were eligible to sit in the House of Lords as Lords Spiritual. Since women became eligible as bishops in 2015, female diocesan bishops take precedence over male ones whenever a new vacancy in the Lords arises, in accordance with the Lords Spiritual (Women) Act 2015 (in force until 17 May 2025).^[17][18]

Resignations and retirements

Bishops are generally required to retire at age 70, but may continue in office for longer (up to a maximum of 75) by direction of a superior bishop (the archbishop for diocesan bishops, the diocesan bishop for suffragan bishops).^[241]

1. Seeley is to retire effective 28 February 2025.^[53]
2. Searle is to retire effective 31 January 2025.^[137]

Notes

1. The date the person's election to their current see was confirmed.
2. The date the person was consecrated as an Anglican bishop.
3. The date(s) the person was introduced in the House of Lords.
4. Welby was translated to Canterbury upon the confirmation of his election (at which point he became the bishop diocesan proper)^[3] on 4 February.^[2] His installation at Canterbury Cathedral duly occurred on 21 March 2013^[4]
5. Mounstephen was translated to Winchester upon the confirmation of his election at St Mary-le-Bow on 10 October 2023.^[14][15]
6. Baines became acting diocesan and area bishop for Leeds on 22 April 2014,^[32] then became diocesan and area Bishop of Leeds proper upon the confirmation of his election on 8 June
7. Accelerated in accordance with the Lords Spiritual (Women) Act 2015.^[17]
8. Lane has the distinction of being the first woman consecrated into bishop's orders in the Church of England (as Bishop suffragan of Stockport in 2015). Hartley was a priest of the Church of England consecrated bishop in 2014 in the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia.
9. The Bishop to the Archbishops is neither a diocesan (they cannot be a Lord Spiritual) nor a suffragan bishop, but ranks highly as episcopal chief of staff to the Archbishops of Canterbury (at Lambeth Palace) and of York (at Bishopthorpe) and Urquhart is a retired diocesan bishop; unlike the holders of the predecessor office Bishop at Lambeth, Urquhart has not been appointed Bishop to the Forces, so he does not have a seat in the House of Bishops.
10. The Bishops of Sodor and Man and in Europe are ineligible to be Lords Spiritual; the Bishop of Sodor and Man is, however, ex officio a member of the Manx Legislative Council.
11. It was announced on 31 January 2017 that North was nominated to become Bishop of Sheffield;^[95] on 9 March, North withdrew his acceptance of the nomination.^[96]

13. Attends the House of Bishops.
14. Elected suffragan member of the House of Bishops for the 2021–2026 Convocations.
