Archdeacons in the Diocese in Europe
{{Short description|Senior clergy of the Church of England Diocese in Europe}}
{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}}
The archdeacons in the Diocese in Europe are senior clergy of the Church of England Diocese in Europe. They each have responsibility over their own archdeaconry, of which there are currently seven, each of which is composed of one or more deaneries, which are composed in turn of chaplaincies (as opposed to the parishes of the mainland and Manx dioceses).
They share this task with running a local church in their area, although the Diocese in Europe was (as of 2012) working towards a new system whereby there would be four full-time archdeacons instead.{{cite web|url= http://europe.anglican.org/news/news/post/257-new-interim-archdeacons-appointed|title= New interim Archdeacons appointed (2012)|publisher= Diocese in Europe|access-date= 16 April 2014|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140416182330/http://europe.anglican.org/news/news/post/257-new-interim-archdeacons-appointed|archive-date= 16 April 2014|url-status= dead}} Colin Williams became a full-time Archdeacon for both the Eastern archdeaconry and that of Germany and Northern Europe ("Archdeacon of Europe"){{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-shropshire-32890915|title = Ludlow rector to become Archdeacon of Europe|work = BBC News|date = 27 May 2015}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2016/1-january/features/features/review-of-the-year-2015-appointments-2|title = Review of the year 2015: Appointments}} in September 2015, based in Frankfurt, Germany;[http://europe.anglican.org/news/news/post/886-first-full-time-archdeacon-appointed- Diocese in Europe — First full time archdeacon appointed] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150529083341/http://europe.anglican.org/news/news/post/886-first-full-time-archdeacon-appointed- |date=29 May 2015 }} (Accessed 29 May 2015) his successor, Leslie Nathaniel is full-time in both roles together.{{cite web |title=Archdeacon of the East and Archdeacon of Germany & Northern Europe |url=https://europe.anglican.org/downloads/advertisement-archdeacon-of-the-east-and-germany-and-northern-europe.pdf |publisher=Diocese in Europe - The Church of England |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230203195828/https://europe.anglican.org/downloads/advertisement-archdeacon-of-the-east-and-germany-and-northern-europe.pdf |archive-date=3 February 2023 |url-status=dead}} David Waller is now also archdeacon of two archdeaconries: Gibraltar and Italy & Malta.

The archdeaconry covers the Western Mediterranean, including Andorra, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Madeira and the Balearic and Canary Islands. The area deaneries include Algarve (Portugal), Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife) and Palma de Mallorca. In 2013, the archdeaconry synod voted to change its name to "Iberia and Gibraltar",[http://europe.anglican.org/news/news/post/424-all-change-in-gibraltar-synod Diocese in Europe – All Change in Gibraltar Synod] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140416182332/http://europe.anglican.org/news/news/post/424-all-change-in-gibraltar-synod |date=2014-04-16 }} (Accessed 16 April 2014) but this change has not been effected.
