For ecclesiastical purposes the country is divided into the
Provinces of Canterbury and York, presided over by the Archbishops
of Canterbury and York respectively, with the provinces being
further divided into dioceses, each diocese having its own bishop.
Each diocese has a consistory court which deals with allegations
of misconduct and breach of duty, the court being presided over
by a Chancellor. An exception is the diocese of Canterbury,
which has instead a Commissary Court presided over by a Commissary
General.
Each province has a provincial court, that for Canterbury being
known as the Arches Court of Canterbury, which is presided over
by the Dean of Arches, and that for York being as the Chancery
of York, which is presided over by the Auditor. From a consistory
court appeal lies to the provincial court, and from the provincial
courts to the Judicial Committee of the Privvy Council.
Jurisdiction over bishops and archbishops is exercised by Commissions
of Convocation.
There is also a Court of Ecclesiastical Causes
Reserved, which is responsible for any dispute relating to doctrine,
ritual, or ceremonial.
From these two courts appeal lies to
a Commission of Review consisting of two Law Lords and two Lords
Spiritual, that is, archbishops and bishops who have seats in
the House of Lords.
The foregoing applies to the Church of England only. English
law does not recognise any bodies which have jurisdiction over
other Christian denominations or religions other than Christianity.
