Bishop of Islington
The Bishop of Islington is an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Diocese of London, in the Province of Canterbury, England.[1][2]
The title takes its name after Islington, an inner-city district of London, and the first suffragan bishop, who lived at Clapton Common,[3] was simultaneously Rector of St Andrew Undershaft.[4] Between 1923 and 2015, the title remained in abeyance.[1]
It was reported in 2015 that Richard Chartres, Bishop of London, had proposed to take the see out of abeyance for the appointment of a national "bishop for church plants",[5] and this was confirmed on 1 May 2015.[6] Ric Thorpe became Bishop of Islington from his consecration on 29 September.[7]
