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.
The Anglican Chaplaincy of Ghent rented St John's Church, Ghent, in the Place Saint Jacques between 1885 and 1948. Since then various premises have been used by the congregation. The chaplaincy was within the Diocese of London until 1980 when a new diocese of Gibraltar in Europe was established.
