Bishop of Ripon and Leeds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Though one ancient Bishop of Ripon is known, the modern diocese dates from 1836. Since 1999, the see has been called the Diocese of Ripon and Leeds, reflecting the growing importance of Leeds, the largest city within the diocese and one of the fastest-growing cities in Britain.

The Bishop lives in Bishop Mount, a 7-bedroom 19th century house just north of Ripon, which was purchased and extended by the diocese in the 1940s when the original palace was decided to be too large. Recently a proposal to move the Bishop's residence to Leeds, where the bulk of the diocese's population is to be found, has been being considered by the diocese and the Church Commissioners.The current Bishop is the Rt Rev John Packer, who signs 'John Ripon and Leeds'. There is one Suffragan Bishop in the Diocese, the Bishop of Knaresborough.
