The Diocese in Europe, formerly the Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe, is an Anglican diocese of the Church of England based in Gibraltar and belonging to the Province of Canterbury. In its current form it was created in 1980, continuing the earlier Gibraltar diocese founded in 1842. It covers the whole of Europe except the British Isles, as well as Morocco and all the territory of the former Soviet Union, and includes chaplaincies such as the Anglican chaplaincy in Warsaw. The diocesan cathedral is the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Gibraltar. The diocesan bishop, titled Bishop in Europe, has Gibraltar as the formal seat, though in practice previous bishops have resided in various locations. Since 2014 the bishop has been Rob Innes, who has chosen Belgium as his place of daily work, assisted by David Hamid as suffragan bishop. The diocese also makes use of honorary assistant bishops, mainly Anglican or Old Catholic bishops from continental Europe and retired Church of England bishops, who support the diocesan bishop at ceremonies without holding administrative roles. Administratively, the diocese is divided into seven archdeaconries: Eastern, France, Gibraltar, Germany and Northern Europe, North-West Europe, Italy and Malta, and Switzerland.
