Editing Christ Church, Oxford (section)

==Organisation==
Christ Church, formally titled "The Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Christ in Oxford of the Foundation of King Henry the Eighth",{{r|chch-ox-statutes}} is the only academic institution in the world which is also a [[cathedral]], the seat ([[cathedra]]) of the [[Bishop of Oxford]]. The [[Visitor]] of Christ Church is the reigning [[British sovereign]]<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://d307gmaoxpdmsg.cloudfront.net/collegeaccounts1617/Christ_Church.pdf|title=Annual Report and Financial Statements|date=2017-07-31|publisher=Christ Church|page=5|access-date=2018-03-23}}</ref> (currently [[Charles III|King Charles III]]), and the Bishop of Oxford is unique among English bishops in not being the Visitor of his own cathedral.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

The head of the college is the Dean of Christ Church.<ref name="christchurch1718">{{cite web |title=Christ Church Oxford : Annual Report and Financial Statements : Year ended 31 July 2018 |url=http://d307gmaoxpdmsg.cloudfront.net/collegeaccounts1718/Christ_Church.pdf |access-date=5 March 2019 |website=ox.ac.uk |page=21}}</ref> Christ Church is unique among Oxford colleges in that its Head of House, who is head of both college and cathedral, must be an Anglican cleric appointed by the Crown as [[Dean (religion)|dean]] of the cathedral church. The dean lives on site in a grand 16th-century house in the main quadrangle. The college's activities are managed by a senior and a junior censor (formally titled the ''Censor Moralis Philosophiae'' and the ''Censor Naturalis Philosophiae'') the former of whom is responsible for academic matters, the latter for undergraduate discipline. They are chosen from among the members of the governing body. A ''Censor Theologiae'' is also appointed to act as the dean's deputy; this post is currently held by Ian Watson.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

The form "Christ Church College" is considered incorrect, in part because it ignores the cathedral, an integral part of the unique dual foundation.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

===Governing body===
The governing body of Christ Church consists of the dean and [[Chapter (religion)|chapter]] of the cathedral, together with the "Students of Christ Church", who are not junior members but rather the equivalent of the [[Oxbridge Fellow#university fellows dons|fellows]] of the other [[Colleges of the University of Oxford|colleges]]. Until the later 19th century, the students differed from fellows in that they had no governing powers in their own college, as those resided solely with the dean and chapter. The governing body of Christ Church now has around 60 members. Serving alongside the seven members of chapter, the other members include statutory professors and associate professors with joint appointments (employed both by the University and Christ Church) as well as early-career career development fellows on fixed-term contracts. Sir [[John Bell (physician)|John Bell]] and Sir [[Tim Berners-Lee]] are both members of the governing body of Christ Church.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Christ Church website|url=https://www.chch.ox.ac.uk/research-and-academia/academic-and-research-staff|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150930091525/http://www.chch.ox.ac.uk/research-and-academia/academic-and-research-staff |archive-date=30 September 2015 }}</ref>
