Historical Note on Anglican Churches in Europe English churches and congregations have been established on the Continent since before the Reformation. The number of these grew to such an extent that in 1633 congregations of the Church of England in all foreign countries were placed under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of London (London then being the chief port of England). Anglican Dioceses and then Provinces were later formed in all parts of the world outside the United Kingdom. The Diocese of Gibraltar was founded in 1842 and took over the pastoral care of the chaplaincies and congregations in Southern Europe and Turkey. In 1883 the Bishop of London appointed a suffragan bishop, who later was given the title of Bishop of Fulham, to supervise the chaplaincies in North and Central Europe. From 1970 the Jurisdiction of North and Central Europe, together with the Diocese of Gibraltar, was in the episcopal care of one Bishop, the Bishop of Fulham and Gibraltar. Since July 1980 a single Diocese has been formed with the title The Diocese in Europe, and it became the 44th Diocese of the Church of England. The Bishop of the Diocese is assisted by a Suffragan Bishop and Assistant Bishops. The Episcopal Church of the United States of America (ECUSA) has also established nine churches in Europe. Since 1971 they have been placed under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of the Churches of the American Convocation in Europe.
