Archdeacon of Derry
Senior ecclesiastical officer in the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe
The Archdeacon of Derry is a senior ecclesiastical officer within the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe.[1]
The archdeaconry can trace its history from Giolla Domhnaill O'Foramain (or Gilladowny O'Forannan), the first known incumbent, known to have held the office at some point before his death in 1179,[2][3] to the current incumbent Robert Miller.[4] McBride is responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy and the upkeep of diocesan property within his half of the diocese.[5]
