Bishop of Fulham

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Bishop of Fulham is a

Suffragans Nomination Act 1888 by Order in Council dated 1 February 1926.[1]

Until 1980 the Bishop of Fulham was the bishop with episcopal oversight (delegated from the Bishop of London) of churches in northern and central Europe. In that year, responsibility for these parishes was transferred to the Bishop of Gibraltar as head of the renamed

Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe
.

At present, the Bishop of Fulham fulfils the role of a

alternative episcopal oversight (AEO) from the Bishop of Fulham.[4]

In November 2010, following the announcement of Bishop John Broadhurst's resignation and reception into the Roman Catholic Church, the Bishop of London temporarily conferred episcopal oversight for traditionalist congregations in the two dioceses to the Bishop of Edmonton.[5] On 31 October 2012 it was announced that Jonathan Baker, then Bishop of Ebbsfleet, would translate to Fulham, resuming Broadhurst's AEO responsibilities.[6] This took place on 13 February 2013.[7][8]
