William James Doherty was an Anglican priest, most notably Archdeacon of Perth, ON in the first half of the twentieth century. [1]
Doherty was educated at Huron College and ordained deacon in 1869, and priest in 1900. He served curacies at Hensall and London. In 1920 he became Domestic Chaplain to David Williams, Bishop of Huron, who in 1922 appointed him an Archdeacon.
An archdeacon is a senior clergy position in the Church of the East, Chaldean Catholic Church, Syriac Orthodox Church, Anglican Communion, St Thomas Christians, Eastern Orthodox churches and some other Christian denominations, above that of most clergy and below a bishop. In the High Middle Ages it was the most senior diocesan position below a bishop in the Catholic Church. An archdeacon is often responsible for administration within an archdeaconry, which is the principal subdivision of the diocese. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church has defined an archdeacon as "A cleric having a defined administrative authority delegated to him by the bishop in the whole or part of the diocese." The office has often been described metaphorically as that of oculus episcopi, the "bishop's eye".
