The Anglican Diocese of Brisbane is based in Brisbane, Australia. The diocesan bishop's seat is St John's Cathedral, Brisbane. The current Archbishop of Brisbane is Phillip Aspinall, who was formerly the elected Primate of the Anglican Church of Australia. The diocese stretches from the south-eastern coastline of Queensland, south to the New South Wales border, and west to the Northern Territory and South Australian borders. ==History== Queen Victoria created the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane and in 1859〔"Consecration Of The Bishops Of Bangor, Brisbane, And St Helena", ''The Times'', 15 June 1859, p. 10.〕 appointed Edward Tufnell (1814–1896) as the first diocesan bishop.〔''Crockford's Clerical Directory 1975-76'' London: Oxford University Press, 1976 ISBN 0-19-200008-X〕 Tufnell designated St John's Cathedral in Brisbane as the pro-cathedral. The central stained glass windows in the apse, the crucifixion, at St Mary's Church, was donated by Bishop Tufnell. The second bishop was Matthew Hale, who was translated from Perth in 1876.〔(Diocese of Brisbane )〕 Hale was succeeded by William Webber,〔(ADB entry )〕 who was the last man to be ''only'' Bishop of Brisbane (from 1885 to 1904) as the new ecclesiastical province of Brisbane would in future be headed by an archbishop as the incumbent. A see house called ''Bishopsbourne'' (now Old Bishopsbourne) was built in Milton for Edward Tufnell. It was used by subsequent bishops and archbishops until Archbishop Philip Strong purchased the house ''Eldernell'' (formerly ''Farsley'') at 39 Eldernell Stret, Hamilton in 1964, renaming it ''Bishopsbourne''. In April 2007, Archbishop Phillip Aspinall sold the Hamilton residence for $11.2 million and moved to a residence in Ascot costing $2.6 million, which has also been renamed ''Bishopsbourne''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.yourbrisbanepastandpresent.com/2011/03/bishopsbourne-hamilton-formerly.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anglican Diocese of Brisbane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
