Bishop of Birmingham

The Bishop of Birmingham heads the Church of England Diocese of Birmingham, in the Province of Canterbury, in England.

The diocese covers the North West of the historical county of Warwickshire and has its see in the City of Birmingham, West Midlands, where the seat of the diocese is located at the Cathedral Church of Saint Philip which was elevated to cathedral status in 1905.

The bishop's residence is Bishop's Croft in Harborne, Birmingham.[1]

The office has existed since the foundation of the see in 1905 from the Diocese of Worcester under King Edward VII.[2]

On 31 August 2023, it was announced that Michael Volland was to become the next bishop diocesan,[3] following the retirement of David Urquhart on 18 October 2022.[4] He legally took up his See at the confirmation of his election on 22 November.[5]

The bishop is assisted, throughout the whole diocese, by the suffragan Bishop of Aston.
