Bishop in Europe


The Bishop in Europe is the ordinary of the Church of England's Diocese in Europe in the Province of Canterbury.

Overview

The diocese provides the ministry of Anglican chaplains, not only in the area of Gibraltar in British jurisdiction but also in all of mainland Europe, Morocco and the territory of the former Soviet Union. The see is based in the City of Gibraltar where the bishop's seat is located at the Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity. Between 1993 and 2013, the bishop's residence was in England at Bishop's Lodge in Worth, Crawley, West Sussex. Since 2014, however, the bishop has been based in Waterloo, Belgium. The diocesan office and administrative team, with the office of the suffragan bishop, is in Tufton Street, London, part of the Church House complex.
The bishopric has existed since the union in 1980 of the see of Gibraltar with the Jurisdiction of North and Central Europe of the see of London. Robert Innes was commissioned and consecrated Bishop in Europe on 20 July 2014.
