Julian Dobbs

Julian M. Dobbs (born 1968) is a New Zealand-born American bishop. He serves as the diocesan bishop of the Anglican Diocese of the Living Word (ADLW), a jurisdiction of the Anglican Church in North America. Dobbs' ministry as a bishop includes overseeing congregations and clergy of the diocese. Nicknamed the "based bishop" by conservative columnist Rod Dreher in 2022, Dobbs is one of the ACNA's more prolific figures, in part for his vocal warnings about the purported dangers of Islam.

On November 15, 2025, Dobbs was appointed dean of the Anglican Church in North America and assumed responsibility as the denomination's acting archbishop in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct against Archbishop Steve Wood. In December 2025, Dobbs became the focus of a Washington Post report detailing two separate inquiries into alleged financial misconduct amounting to $76,000 against Dobbs during his work for Barnabas Aid and as bishop of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA). Dobbs has denied the allegations, calling them "unsubstantiated".
