Downing Street has announced that the Revd Dr Graham Tomlin, Principal of St Mellitus College, one of the largest theological colleges in the Anglican Church worldwide, is to become the new Bishop of Kensington in the Diocese of London.

The Bishop of London, the Rt Revd & Rt Hon Richard Chartres KCVO, said: “In his many publications and in his teaching in St Mellitus College, Graham has demonstrated a generous orthodoxy which combines depth with clarity. He has continually combined teaching with pastoral care for those preparing for parochial and other ministries. His whole ministry in a sense has been in support of the ‘local church’ for which he has a passion. As Area Bishop he will be able to develop this theme in his ministry as he serves the remarkably diverse Christian communities in West London.”
