The Diocese of Derry and Raphoe is a diocese of the Church of Ireland, within the Province of Armagh. The diocese extends over two counties: County Londonderry (in the United Kingdom) and County Donegal (in the Republic of Ireland).

History

From the Reformation (and indeed before it) Derry and Raphoe were two separate dioceses. In the reorganisation of the Church of Ireland though, a number of dioceses were amalgamated, in view of declining population. Derry and Raphoe were united in 1834 as the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe,[1] and it is for this reason that the united diocese has two cathedrals.

Cathedrals

  • The Cathedral Church of St Columb, Londonderry
  • The Cathedral Church of St Eunan, Raphoe, County Donegal

Bishops

The current Bishop is the Right Reverend Kenneth (Ken) Good, who was consecrated on 11 June 2002.

The list of bishops begins with th cration of the united diocese in 1834.[1]
