Sophie Jelley

Sophie Rebecca Jelley (née Capitanchik ; born 1972) is a British Anglican priest. Since 2020, she has been "Bishop of Doncaster designate and Principal Commissary of the Bishop of Sheffield".

Previously, she served as Director of Mission, Discipleship and Ministry in the Diocese of Durham and Canon Missioner of Durham Cathedral since 2015. Before joining Durham, she ministered in the Dioceses of Bradford, Guildford and Chichester, and in Uganda with the Church Mission Society. In December 2019, it was announced that she would be the next Bishop of Doncaster, a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Sheffield: she was due to be consecrated a bishop[1][2][3][4][5] on Lady Day 2020 (25 March); but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she was instead licensed ad interim as "Bishop of Doncaster designate and Principal Commissary of the Bishop of Sheffield" that day.[6]
