Bishop of Ebbsfleet
The Bishop of Ebbsfleet is a
Traditionalist catholic bishop
The see was erected under the
Conservative evangelical bishop
In June 2022, it was announced that, from January 2023, oversight of traditionalist Anglo-Catholics in the west of Canterbury province (formerly the Bishop of Ebbsfleet's area) would be taken by a new Bishop of Oswestry, suffragan to the Bishop of Lichfield. Oversight of conservative evangelicals would be taken by the next Bishop of Ebbsfleet; the See of Maidstone (the original conservative evangelical flying bishop) would be left vacant, available for other uses.[6] As such, from 2023, the Bishop of Ebbsfleet will provide alternative episcopal oversight to parishes who have passed resolutions that reject the ordination and/or leadership of women due to complementarian beliefs.[7] On 9 December 2022 the appointment was announced of Rob Munro as the next Bishop of Ebbsfleet[8][9] and he was consecrated bishop on 2 February 2023.[10]
