Biographical history
The Bishop of London was held to exercise responsibility for Anglican churches overseas where no other bishop had been appointed. He retained responsibility for churches in northern and central Europe until 1980, but his jurisdiction in southern Europe ceased in 1842 on the creation of the diocese of Gibraltar. In 1980, the Bishop of London divested himself of all overseas jurisdiction and a new diocese of 'Gibraltar in Europe' was established.
In the 1880s the Anglican community in Bucharest began raising money to build a church. Construction began in 1913 on a site conveyed by the Commune of Bucharest. The church building was finished in 1914, but it was not consecrated until November 1922.
