Barry Bryan Clarke (born 10 October 1952) is a Canadian Anglican bishop. He is the 11th Anglican Bishop of Montreal,[1] a post he has held since 2004.[2]
Clarke was born in Montreal and educated at McGill University and the Montreal Theological College. Upon ordination he became curate at St Matthias' Montreal.[3] His career then progressed steadily upwards through incumbencies at St-Bruno, Quebec, St Michael and All Angels, Montreal[4] and St Paul's Lachine before the bishopric of Montreal. Self-described as a committed youth and community worker,[5] in his ordination speech he appropriated Jesus' claim to "come not to be served, but to serve."[6] He is a supporter of the blessing of same-sex unions.[7]
