Because the diocesan bishop, as Archbishop of Canterbury, holds many responsibilities beyond the diocese (as Metropolitan of the Province of Canterbury, Primate of All England, and worldwide head of the Anglican Communion), many of his responsibilities in the Diocese of Canterbury are devolved upon one of his suffragan bishops, the Bishop of Dover, who is given the additional title of "Bishop in Canterbury" and in many ways empowered to act almost as if he were the diocesan bishop. (The Archbishop's residence is not even in Kent, but at Lambeth Palace, in Lambeth in Surrey.)
The Bishop of Dover is the one active suffragan bishop in the diocese, exercising many of the Archbishop's functions in the Diocese. There was, until 2009, another suffragan bishop for the diocese, the Bishop of Maidstone, but it was decided in November 2010 that no further appointments would be made to that post.[2]
Two further suffragan bishops in Canterbury; the Bishop of Ebbsfleet and the Bishop of Richborough, but their roles are not in the diocese but as provincial episcopal visitors to the whole Province of Canterbury, ministering to parishes which do not accept the ministry of women as priests.
For organisational purposes, the diocese is divided into three archdeaconries, containing a total of fifteen deaneries:
The bishop of the diocese of Canterbury has been, ever since its foundation by Augustine, the Archbishop of Canterbury.
