Michael Henley

Michael Harry George Henley CB[1] (born 16 January 1938[2]) is a retired Anglican bishop. He was a chaplain of the British Fleet and the Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane.

Henley was educated at St Marylebone Grammar School[3] and the London College of Divinity. He was ordained in 1962[4] and began his ordained ministry as a curate at St Marylebone Parish Church. He was a chaplain in the Royal Navy from 1948 {this date is clearly wrong as he was ten at the time!} to 1968 and then a chaplain of St Andrews University from 1968 to 1972 and of the Royal Hospital School from 1972 to 1974. He returned to the navy in 1974, becoming its "Chaplain of the Fleet" from 1989 to 1993. He was then the priest in charge of Holy Trinity, Pitlochry from 1994 to 1995[5] before his ordination to the episcopate.[6] An Honorary Chaplain to the Queen, he retired in 2004.
