Deanery of Christianity (Exeter)

For the deanery of the same name in the Diocese of Lincoln, see Deanery of Christianity (Lincoln).

The Deanery of Christianity is a deanery in the Archdeaconry of Exeter, Diocese of Exeter. The deanery covers most of the city of Exeter. It takes the name "Christianity" because there is a tradition that a diocese and a deanery should not share the same name.
