List of bishops in the Church of England

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from List of spiritual peers)

The active bishops of the Church of England are usually either diocesan bishops or suffragan bishops. Several also hold portfolios of national responsibility, either as spokesperson bishops for the Church of England or as Lords Spiritual in the House of Lords.

Diocesan bishops

[edit]

As there are 42 dioceses of the Church of England, there are 42 bishops diocesan (including vacancies). Of the 42: both archbishops and the Bishops of London, of Durham and of Winchester, sit in the House of Lords as Lords Spiritual ex officio; a further 21 sit there by seniority (of whom five had their seniority accelerated); the Bishop of Sodor and Man sits ex officio in the Legislative Council of the Isle of Man and also in Tynwald Court; fourteen diocesans are not currently Lords Spiritual; and the Bishop in Europe is ineligible to be a Lord Spiritual.

Lords Spiritual by virtue of seniority of service

[edit]

Until 2015, the 21 longest-serving among the remaining diocesan bishops were eligible to sit in the House of Lords as Lords Spiritual. Since women became eligible as bishops in 2015, female diocesan bishops take precedence over male ones whenever a new vacancy in the Lords arises, in accordance with the Lords Spiritual (Women) Act 2015 (in force until 17 May 2025).[17][18]

Other bishops

[edit]

As of 15 October 2024, there are sixteen people in active ministry (i.e. not retired) in the Church of England who are in episcopal orders but not in episcopal posts in the Church of England.

House of Bishops

[edit]

The membership of the General Synod's House of Bishops is:[230]

  • All 42 bishops diocesan (or as many as are in post)
  • The Bishop suffragan of Dover (as a quasi-diocesan bishop; Rose Hudson-Wilkin, since 2019) and the Bishop to the Forces (Hugh Nelson, Bishop suffragan of St Germans; since 2021)
  • 9 bishops suffragan (5 from Canterbury province; 4 from York) elected by and from among all the bishops suffragan.
The following have been elected to serve in the Convocations for 2021–2026:[231]
  1. Ric Thorpe, Bishop suffragan of Islington (since 2021)[232]
  2. Bev Mason, Bishop suffragan of Warrington (since 2021)
  3. Martin Gorick, Bishop suffragan of Dudley (since 2021)
  4. Jill Duff, Bishop suffragan of Lancaster (since 2022)[233]
  5. Joanne Grenfell, area Bishop of Stepney (since 2023)[234]
  6. Julie Conalty, Bishop suffragan of Birkenhead (since 2023)[234]
  7. Stephen Race, Bishop suffragan of Beverley (since 2023)[234]
  8. one southern vacancy vice Hollinghurst
  9. one southern vacancy vice Graham

Acting diocesan bishops (commissaries) also attend but do not vote (unless they happen to hold a vote as an elected representative suffragan) at meetings of the House.[235]

The four "provincial episcopal visitors" (the Bishops suffragan of Richborough, of Ebbsfleet, of Oswestry and of Beverley) may attend and speak, but are not members and may not vote — unless they are elected as representative suffragans[230][236] (as Beverley is).

Since 1 December 2016 six female bishops suffragan are "[given] rights of attendance".[237] They are:[230]

  1. Alison White, Bishop suffragan of Hull
  2. Ruth Worsley, Bishop suffragan of Taunton and Acting Bishop of Coventry
  3. Karen Gorham, Bishop suffragan of Sherborne
  4. one vacancy vice Hartley
  5. one vacancy vice Bailey Wells
  6. one vacancy vice Hollinghurst

  1. ^ On 12 November 2024, Welby announced his intention to resign as Archbishop of Canterbury at an unspecified date.

  3. ^ Searle is to retire effective 31 January 2025.[137]

Notes

  2. ^ a b c d e The date the person was consecrated as an Anglican bishop.
  3. ^ a b The date(s) the person was introduced in the House of Lords.
  4. ^ Welby was translated to Canterbury upon the confirmation of his election (at which point he became the bishop diocesan proper)[3] on 4 February.[2] His installation at Canterbury Cathedral duly occurred on 21 March 2013[4]
  5. ^ Mounstephen was translated to Winchester upon the confirmation of his election at St Mary-le-Bow on 10 October 2023.[14][15]

  9. ^ The Bishop to the Archbishops is neither a diocesan (they cannot be a Lord Spiritual) nor a suffragan bishop, but ranks highly as episcopal chief of staff to the Archbishops of Canterbury (at Lambeth Palace) and of York (at Bishopthorpe) and Urquhart is a retired diocesan bishop; unlike the holders of the predecessor office Bishop at Lambeth, Urquhart has not been appointed Bishop to the Forces, so he does not have a seat in the House of Bishops.

  13. ^ a b c d Attends the House of Bishops.
  14. ^ a b c d e f g Elected suffragan member of the House of Bishops for the 2021–2026 Convocations.
