Diocese of the Church of England
The diocese of Blackburn is diocese of the Church of England in North West England . Its boundaries correspond to northern Lancashire with the exception of the eastern part of the Forest of Bowland , which is part of the diocese of Leeds . The diocese contains 211 parishes and 280 churches. Blackburn Cathedral is the seat of the bishop of Blackburn , currently Philip North , and the diocesan offices are also located in Blackburn.[1]
What is now the diocese of Blackburn was historically part of the diocese of York . It became part of the newly-created diocese of Chester in 1541,[2] diocese of Manchester when it was created in 1847.[3] [4]
Bishops [ edit ]
Alongside the diocesan Bishop of Blackburn (Philip North ), the diocese has two suffragan bishops: Jill Duff , Bishop suffragan of Lancaster , consecrated in 2018; and a Bishop suffragan of Burnley (vacant in 2023).
There is no alternative episcopal oversight (for parishes in the diocese which reject the ministry of priests who are women) in the diocese because the ordinary (Philip North ) does not ordain women as priests.
