To our well-beloved in Christ, the Venerable William Jonathan Adam, clerk, Archdeacon of the Archdeaconry of Canterbury within the diocese and jurisdiction of the said Archbishop, greetings. I do hereby constitute and appoint you, the said William Jonathan Adam, our commissary for the purposes hereinafter mentioned, and I do empower you to receive, inspect and examine the presentations, petitions, and letters of Orders of all such clerks as shall be presented or shall petition to be admitted and instituted to vacant benefices within the said diocese and jurisdiction of the Archbishop, and, upon my approbation thereof, in cases where I am, for some grave and urgent cause unable to give institution in my own person, to admit and institute them to the respective benefices to which they shall have been presented or have petitioned to be admitted and instituted, they the said clerks first in your presence taking such oaths and making and subscribing such declarations as are by law or custom in such cases required, and to receive, inspect and examine the nominations of clerks to offices and team ministries, lectureships, proprietary chapels, chaplaincies, and stipendiary and other curacies within the said diocese and jurisdiction, and upon my approval thereof, to license them to the respective team ministries, lectureships, proprietary chapels, chaplaincies, and stipendiary and other curacies, they the said clerks, in your presence, taking such oaths and making and subscribing such declaration as are by law or custom in such case required, reserving nevertheless to the Archbishop full power and authority to revoke this commission when and as he may think fit.

| The Bishop left the cathedral at this point. As the authorities had doubts about the candidate's suitability for the post (see ] for background) she did not administer the oath, thus rendering the appointment null under canon law. At 1:03:57 Dr Adam stood up and made a statement, the first sentence of which included the words "I...swear." This did not cure the defect. The extreme heat, 105° F (nothing like this had ever been recorded before) prompted comparison with the destruction by fire at York Minster following the enthronement as Bishop of David Jenkin, who had said previously "I wouldn't put it past God to arrange a virgin birth if He wanted. But I don't think he did." | |||

Senior office-holder in Diocese of Canterbury at Church of EnglandThe Archdeacon of Canterbury is a senior office-holder in the Diocese of Canterbury (a division of the Church of England Province of Canterbury). Like other archdeacons, they are an administrator in the diocese at large (having oversight of parishes in roughly one-third of the diocese) and is a canon residentiary of the cathedral.
History
The Archdeacon of Canterbury has an additional role, traditionally serving as the Archbishop of Canterbury's representative at enthronement ceremonies for new diocesan bishops in his province. At these services, the archdeacon reads the archbishop's mandate and, taking the new bishops by the hand, conducts them to their episcopal throne.
The archdeaconry and archdeacon of Canterbury have been in constant existence since the 11th century. There was one short-lived attempt to split the role in the 12th century. In modern times, the archdeaconry has been split twice: creating Maidstone archdeaconry in 1841 and Ashford archdeaconry in 2011.
Composition
The archdeaconry covers approximately the north-east corner of the diocese. As of 2012, the archdeaconry of Canterbury consists the following deaneries in the Diocese of Canterbury:
- Deanery of Canterbury
- Deanery of East Bridge
- Deanery of Reculver
- Deanery of Thanet
- Deanery of West Bridge
