The Archdeacon of Belfast is a senior ecclesiastical officer within the Diocese of Connor.[1] As such he or she is responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the clergy.[2] within the diocese. There have only been two holders: Barry Dodds[3] and George Davison.[4] Some have advocated that a city the size of Belfast needs its own Bishop rather than an Archdeacon.[5]
