Archdeacons in the 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 is working towards a new system whereby there will be four full-time archdeacons instead.[1]

The current roles of archdeacons are set down in the diocese's 1995 constitution.[2]

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.[3] In 2013, the archdeaconry synod voted to change its name to "Iberia and Gibraltar",[4] but it is not known whether or when this change has been effected. The Cathedral Church is that of the Holy Trinity in Gibraltar.

The archdeacon's position has been vacant since 2013; the acting archdeacon is the Revd Geoff Johnston, chaplain of Nerja and Almuñécar, Spain.[3]

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.[3]

Jonathan Boardman, chaplain of All Saints Rome, is also the Archdeacon of Italy and Malta.[3]

Until 1978, the title was Archdeacon in/of Malta:
Records indicate that, from 1865 until 1925, the chaplain in Valletta was also archdeacon of Malta:
In 1925, a third archdeaconry was created and the relationship between the two roles seems to have ended:
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.
Devenport is referred to retrospectively as Archdeacon of Italy and Malta,[35] but his successors have all used that form:

Archdeacons of the Aegean and of the Eastern Archdeaconry

The Eastern Archdeaconry covers Eastern Europe – the Greater Athens deanery (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Greece, the Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Turkey), the Moscow deanery (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kosovo, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Russia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, based at St Andrew's, Moscow ) and the area for which the archdeacon takes direct responsibility (Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia). The archdeacon, the Ven Patrick Curran, is based in Austria as chaplain of Christ Church, Vienna.[3] The title was Archdeacon of the Aegean until 1994.

Before 1994, the archdeaconry was called the Aegean.
After Evans' resignation, the archdeaconry was renamed the Eastern Archdeaconry.

Archdeacons of the Riviera

The Archdeaconry of the Riviera was subsumed into the Archdeaconry of France c.1995.[46] Archdeacons described as Archdeacon of the Riviera included:

Archdeacons of North-West Europe

The area deaneries comprise Belgium & Luxembourg (based at St. Boniface Church, Antwerp) and The Netherlands (based at Christ Church, Amsterdam). There is a Pro-Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Brussels.[3] Before the expansion of the diocese in 1980 and erection of Holy Trinity into a Pro-Cathedral, this archdeaconry was called Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

The bishop's domestic chaplain, Canon Meurig Williams, has been acting archdeacon of North-West Europe since 2012.[3]

Archdeacons of Northern France and of France

The Archdeaconry of France consists of all of France and Monaco and includes the Maisons-Lafitte deanery. The archdeacon, the Ven Ian Naylor, is based in Pau (where he is the chaplain.) The two area deaneries are those of Lille (based at Christ Church, Lille) and Mid-Pyrenees & Aude. Before the mid-to-late 1990s, the post was called Archdeacon of Northern France.

By 1997, Draper was known as Archdeacon of France; his successors have borne this form of the title.

Archdeacons of Switzerland

The archdeacon, the Ven Peter Potter, has been chaplain of Berne since 2008. He is also Acting Archdeacon of Germany and Northern Europe for the time being. Some sources show that Quin and Hawker were referred to as "Archdeacon in Switzerland."

Archdeacons of Scandinavia and of Germany and Northern Europe

The two area deaneries are those of Germany (based at St George's, Berlin) and The Nordic and Baltic States, including Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, Finland, Estonia and Latvia (based in Goteborg, Sweden).[3]

Following the resignation of the Ven Jonathan Lloyd, the Archdeacon of Switzerland, Peter Potter, is also acting archdeacon of Germany and Northern Europe.[73]

Prior to 2005, the archdeaconry was called Scandinavia.
Since 2005, the archdeaconry has been called Germany and Northern Europe.

Other archdeacons

From 1922 until 1929, Thomas Buckton, sometime chaplain of Nice, was Archdeacon in Spain and North Africa[80] or Archdeacon in the Peninsula and North Africa[8] before he was Archdeacon of Gibraltar and while there was another Archdeacon of Gibraltar in post.

From 1931 until his death on 29 June 1943, Edward Eliot was Archdeacon in Italy and the French Riviera and a canon of Gibraltar.[81]

From 1996 until 1998, Gordon Reid, vicar-general of the Diocese in Europe and (from 1997) priest-in-charge at St Michael, Cornhill was Archdeacon in Europe.[37]
