Diocese of the Church of England
The Diocese of Birmingham is a
diocese founded in 1905 in the
Church of England 's
Province of Canterbury , covering the north-west of the
traditional county of
Warwickshire , the south-east of the traditional county of
Staffordshire and the north-east of the traditional county of
Worcestershire (now the central section of the
West Midlands and small parts of south
Staffordshire , north
Warwickshire and north
Worcestershire ) in
England .
Cathedral
The
see is in the centre of the
City of Birmingham , where the seat of the diocese is located at the
Cathedral Church of Saint Philip .
The 18th-century parish church of
Saint Philip in Birmingham was elevated to cathedral status in 1905 when the see was founded, on 13 January 1905.
[1] Previously the area had been part of the
Diocese of Worcester .
Bishops
Besides the diocesan
Bishop of Birmingham (
Michael Volland ) and the
Bishop suffragan of Aston (
Anne Hollinghurst ; which see was created in 1954), there are three retired bishops resident in (or near) the diocese who are licensed to serve as
honorary assistant bishops :
[2] [
dead link ]
Since 1994,
alternative episcopal oversight (for parishes in the diocese who reject the ministry of women priests) is provided by the
provincial episcopal visitor , the
Bishop suffragan of Oswestry (since 2023
Paul Thomas ), who is licensed as an honorary assistant bishop of the diocese in order to facilitate his work there.
Archdeaconries and deaneries
The former deaneries of Yardley and Bordesley were merged in 2000.
[6] Central Birmingham was known as Birmingham City until 1996 and then Birmingham City Centre until 2004.

Safeguarding controversy
In December 2018 the diocese was criticised for its use of a
Non-disclosure Agreement (NDA) in relation to an abuse case. The survivor described the ten-year process since her first complaint as "haphazard" and claimed she was warned by an unnamed bishop not to talk to the media as it wouldn't be "very godly". The diocese carried out an independent review which delivered damning findings about the handling of her case by the (then)
Bishop of Birmingham ,
David Urquhart , and then forced the survivor to sign the NDA before she was permitted to see the review into her own case. The
Archbishop of Canterbury ,
Justin Welby , had previously questioned the legitimacy of these agreements in March 2018 at the
Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse
A non-disclosure agreement seems to me to be dangerous because it creates suspicion, 'Why are you doing an NDA? Surely you're trying to cover something up'.
The
Bishop of Buckingham ,
Alan Wilson , commenting on the scandal said it was the fourth "corrupt and destructive" non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that had come to his attention since September.
They seem inherently abusive, mainly used to provide a carpet under which to sweep abuse. If people really want them they should be time-limited with reasons.
He said he was unable to share details of the other cases but that some were "complete shockers". The Diocese of Birmingham said the NDA had been used to ensure that those who read the report did not share information provided by other contributors who wanted to remain anonymous. A
Church of England spokesperson stated that guidance would be sent to all dioceses to discourage use of these agreements. The bishop and the diocese apologised to the survivor and her husband.
