Archdeacons in the Diocese in Europe

(Redirected from Archdeaconry of Switzerland) Senior clergy of the Church of England Diocese in Europe

The archdeacons in the Diocese in Europe are senior clergy of the Church of England Diocese in Europe. They each have responsibility over their own archdeaconry, of which there are currently seven, each of which is composed of one or more deaneries, which are composed in turn of chaplaincies (as opposed to the parishes of the mainland and Manx dioceses).

They share this task with running a local church in their area, although the Diocese in Europe was (as of 2012) working towards a new system whereby there would be four full-time archdeacons instead. Colin Williams became a full-time Archdeacon for both the Eastern archdeaconry and that of Germany and Northern Europe ("Archdeacon of Europe") in September 2015, based in Frankfurt, Germany; his successor, Leslie Nathaniel is full-time in both roles together. David Waller is now also archdeacon of two archdeaconries: Gibraltar and Italy & Malta. It is also intended that the next Archdeacon of France (full-time) will also, eventually, become Archdeacon of Switzerland.

In 1866, the Diocese of Gibraltar had two archdeaconries: Gibraltar and Malta. The current roles of archdeacons are set down in the diocese's 1995 constitution.

Archdeacons of Gibraltar

The archdeaconry covers the Western Mediterranean, including Andorra, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Madeira and the Balearic and Canary Islands. The area deaneries include Algarve (Portugal), Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife) and Palma de Mallorca. In 2013, the archdeaconry synod voted to change its name to "Iberia and Gibraltar", but this change has not been effected. The Cathedral Church is that of the Holy Trinity in Gibraltar.

The archdeacon is David Waller, also of Italy and Malta.

Archdeacons of Malta, of Malta and of Italy and Malta

The archdeaconry covers the Central Mediterranean including Italy, Sicily and Malta. There is a Pro-Cathedral of St Paul in Valletta, Malta.

The archdeacon in David Waller, also of Gibraltar.

Until 1978, the title was Archdeacon in/of Malta:

?–1849 (d.): Sir Cecil Bisshopp, chaplain to the Bishop of Gibraltar
?–1864 (d.): Thomas Le Mesurier, a chaplain to the forces

Records indicate that, from 1865 until 1925, the chaplain in Valletta was also archdeacon of Malta:

1865–25 March 1881 (d.): John Cleugh, chaplain of St Paul's Valletta
Henry White was chaplain of Valletta<

Charles Gull, William Evered, Arthur Newton, Frederick Brock, Archibald Fargus and Arthur Moreton followed Collyer as chaplains at Valletta but aren't recorded as having been archdeacons.

In 1925, a third archdeaconry was created and the relationship between the two roles seems to have ended:

1971–1975 (ret.): George Church, chaplain of Florence
1975–1978: John Evans, chaplain of Florence, became Archdeacon in Italy

Evans is recorded as Archdeacon in Italy after he was Archdeacon of Malta; the former may have been simply a renaming of the latter, especially since he retained his chaplaincy.

1978–1985 (ret.): John Evans, chaplain of Florence with Siena (until 1981), Chancellor of St Paul's Pro-Cathedral, Valletta (from 1981)
