Jill Duff

Jillian Louise Calland Duff (called Jill;[1][2][3][4] née Worsley; born 1972) is a British Anglican bishop.

[5] Duff trained for ordained ministry at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, an evangelical Anglican theological college.

[1] In 2011, Duff left her church planting role, and was appointed a vocations development advisor in the Diocese of Liverpool and an initial ministerial education (IME) tutor.

[10] She was involved in the Church of England's "Living in Love and Faith" (LLF);[11] discussions relating to "matters of identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage".

[...] Without seeking to diminish the value of many committed same-sex relationships, for which there is much to give thanks, we find ourselves constrained by what we sincerely believe the Scriptures teach which cannot be set aside.

[14]During the Church of England's February 2023 General Synod meeting, Duff was one of four bishops in the house to vote against the successful proposal to introduce blessings and prayers for same-sex relationships.

[15] She also voted against introducing "standalone services for same-sex couples" on a trial basis during a meeting of the General Synod in November 2023; the motion passed.
