What is an archdeacon? (Bitesize Ecclesiastical Law #8)

In the eighth in our series of Bitesize Ecclesiastical Law, the Revd Russell Dewhurst asks the Ven Moira Astin "What is an archdeacon?" In the Church of England, archdeacons have an important role in each diocese, as we discover in the video.
