TheBishop of Rochester is theordinary of theChurch of England'sDiocese of Rochester in theProvince of Canterbury.

The town ofRochester has the bishop's seat, at theCathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary, which was founded as aCatholic cathedral in 604. After theEnglish Reformation, during the late 17th and 18th centuries, it was customary for the Bishop of Rochester to also be appointedDean of Westminster. The practice ended in 1802. The diocese covers two London boroughs andWest Kent, which includesMedway andMaidstone.

The bishop's residence is Bishopscourt in Rochester. HisLatin episcopal signature is: "(firstname) Roffen",^[2]Roffensis being the genitive case of the Latin name of the see. The office was created in 604 at the founding of the diocese in theKingdom of Kent underKing Æthelberht.

Jonathan Gibbs has served as Bishop of Rochester^[3] since theconfirmation of hiselection, on 24 May 2022.^[4]

History

[edit]

The Diocese of Rochester was historically the oldest and smallest of all thesuffragan sees of Canterbury. It was founded bySt Augustine, who in 604 consecrated StJustus as its first bishop. (After two more Roman bishops, all subsequent bishops until 1066, beginning withIthamar, were drawn from the Christianised inhabitants of Kent.) The diocesan territory consisted roughly of the western part of Kent, separated from the rest of the county by theRiver Medway, though the diocesan boundaries did not follow the river very closely. The restricted territory of the diocese meant that it needed only onearchdeacon to supervise all 97 parishes.

From the foundation of the see, theArchbishop of Canterbury had enjoyed the privilege of nominating the bishop, but ArchbishopTheobald transferred the right to theBenedictine monks of the cathedral, who exercised it for the first time in 1148.
