“European Congregations”??
Let’s make that “Diocese in Europe Suffragan” for David Hamid please
Your wish is my command, noble sir. ’Twas but my feeble attempt to summarise his Twitter bio, Serving Church of England congregations in Continental Europe, Turkey and Morocco.
You can add to this list Bishop Nick Baines, Bishop of Croydon. See http://churchmousepublishing.blogspot.com/2009/03/bishop-nick-baines-joins-twitter.html
Twisted! Thank you
You may have stopped updating this site, but if not, you could add @bishopofdurham to your list.
Thanks Rachel – updating now; and adding @Father_Owl, Grantham
There are others listed by the Twurch of England bishops list: the new Croydon, Dover, Hull, Swindon, also the extra-diocesan Stephen Lowe, plus a different Twitter name for Willesden.
Thanks Peter – updating accordingly. Still no women on the list, though *sigh* …
