Carl N. Cooper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Cooper is the present Bishop of St David's.

He was born in 1960 and grew up in Wigan in Lancashire, but first spent time in Wales as an undergraduate at the University of Wales, Lampeter, where he took a degree in French before reading theology at Wycliffe Hall in Oxford.

Unusually for a non-native Welsh Bishop, Cooper is a fluent Welsh-speaker. He gained a Master of Philosophy degree for a study in bilingualism in the Church in Wales. He has served as curate in Llanelli and Parish Priest in Ciliau Aeron, Ceredigion. He has also served Dolgellau and as Archdeacon of Meirionnydd before taking up his post in St David's in 2002.
