Anglican Diocese of Liverpool

The diocese of Liverpool is a diocese of the Church of England in North West England. The diocese covers Merseyside north of the River Mersey, south-west Lancashire, western Greater Manchester, and part of northern Cheshire. Liverpool Cathedral is the seat of the bishop of Liverpool, currently John Perumbalath, and the diocesan offices are also located in Liverpool. The bishop is assisted by one suffragan bishop, the bishop of Warrington.
What is now the diocese of Liverpool was historically part of the diocese of Coventry and Lichfield, and became part of the newly created diocese of Chester in 1541. The diocese of Liverpool was established on 9 April 1880.

Bishops

The diocese's House of Bishops comprises the diocesan Bishop of Liverpool, the suffragan Bishop of Warrington, and the honorary assistant bishop and pro-vice chancellor emeritus at Liverpool Hope University, Ian Stuart Alternative episcopal oversight is provided by the provincial episcopal visitor the Bishop of Beverley, Stephen Race. He is licensed as an honorary assistant bishop of the diocese in order to facilitate his work there.
On 28 February 2025, it was announced that Ruth Worsley was to become Interim Bishop of Liverpool for a period of two years starting later in 2025; to facilitate this role, she was translated from Taunton to the vacant suffragan See of Wigan on 4 April 2025.
There are two retired bishops living in the diocese:

Cyril Ashton, a retired former Bishop suffragan of Doncaster, has been a licensed as an honorary assistant bishop since his 2011 retirement to Lancaster, Lancashire
Frank Sargeant, former Bishop at Lambeth lives in Salford, Greater Manchester

In May 2016, it was announced that Susan Goff, Suffragan Bishop of Virginia, had been licensed as an honorary assistant bishop in the diocese, as part of the companion link with the American Episcopalian Diocese of Virginia. In response, the Diocese of Akure, Nigeria, has indicated that they wish to end their part of the companion link.

Pastoral reorganisation

The diocese is in the process of reorganising its parishes into larger units under the tagline 'Fit for Mission'. This occurred first in Wigan deanery, which now consists of one benefice and seven parishes where once there were twenty-nine. An independent report suggested that the impact on the spiritual life and financial health of the deanery has not been positive. Similar mergers have taken place in St Helens and West Derby and one is underway in Warrington. Other deaneries are at earlier stages of the process.
