History

[edit]

On 13 March 1976; 49 years ago (1976-03-13), by the decreeQuod Ecumenicum,Pope Paul VI formed the Diocese ofEast Anglia (from the counties of Cambridge, Norfolk and Suffolk) out of theDiocese of Northampton.

On 2 June 1976, the new diocese received its firstbishop, Alan Clark. Bishop Clark had previously been auxiliary bishop of Northampton and co-chairman of ARCIC (Anglican/Roman Catholic International Commission), with the cathedral being established at the former parish church ofSt John the Baptist, Norwich. As the first bishop of the new diocese, Bishop Clark had to set up all the necessary instruments and commissions for the diocese to operate successfully. The establishment of the Diocesan Pastoral Council in 1987 strengthened these.

The diocese continued to grow with the development of the diocesan offices and diocesan tribunal attached to Bishop's House inPoringland nearNorwich. Bishop Clark led a number ofLourdes pilgrimages.[16]
