The Diocese in Europe (formally the Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe) is geographically the largest diocese of the Church of England and arguably the largest diocese in the Anglican Communion, covering some one-sixth of the Earth's landmass, including Morocco, Europe (excluding the British Isles), Turkey and the territory of the former Soviet Union. The principal cathedral is the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Gibraltar and there are two Pro-Cathedrals in Malta and Brussels. The diocese is headed by the Bishop in Europe, who is assisted by the Suffragan Bishop in Europe. The present Bishop Rt Rev Dr Robert Innes was commissioned and consecrated on 20 July 2014.〔(Diocese in Europe – New Diocesan Bishop Appointed ) (Accessed 7 May 2014)〕 The current suffragan bishop is David Hamid, who was consecrated bishop on 17 October 2002. The pro-cathedrals are St Paul's Cathedral, Valletta, Malta, and Pro-Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Brussels, Belgium. The diocese is attached to the Province of Canterbury. The Diocese of Gibraltar was created on 29 September 1842〔(Official History of the Diocese of Europe )〕 and at that time covered all Anglican chaplaincies from Portugal to the Caspian Sea. On 30 June 1980,〔(''London Gazette'', 3 July 1980 ); (Diocese in Europe Measure 1980 )〕 the diocese was amalgamated with the Jurisdiction of North and Central Europe (exercised by the Bishop of London through the Suffragan Bishop of Fulham) and renamed the Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe (it has since become commonly known as the Diocese in Europe). It is divided into seven archdeaconries. ==Archdeaconries== *Archdeacon of Europe's area: Colin Williams became full-time "Archdeacon of Europe" from October 2015, taking charge of both the Eastern archdeaconry and that of Germany and Northern Europe, and being based in Frankfurt, Germany.〔(Diocese in Europe — First full time archdeacon appointed ) (Accessed 29 May 2015)〕 * *Eastern Archdeaconry, consisting of: Albania, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
