The Archdeacon of Belfast is a senior ecclesiastical officer within the Diocese of Connor.[1] The Archdeacon 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.[citation needed]
