Mark Wroe (born 1969) is a British Anglican bishop. Since 2021, he has served as Bishop of Berwick. Previously, from 2018 to 2020, he was Archdeacon of Northumberland[1] — both in the Church of England's Diocese of Newcastle.[2]
Biography
[edit | edit source]Wroe studied theology, religious studies and classics at St Mary's Roman Catholic College Strawberry Hill (SIMMS) from 1989 to 1992 (now St Mary's University, Twickenham): the degrees were awarded by Surrey University. He trained for ordained ministry at Ridley Hall, Cambridge.
He was ordained in the Church of England as a deacon in 1996 and as a priest in 1997. He served his title at All Saints, Chilvers Coton with St Mary the Virgin in Nuneaton in Warwickshire between 1996 and 2000. He was then appointed priest-in-charge and subsequently vicar at St Alban's Church, Windy Nook in Tyne and Wear. From 2007 until 2018, he was priest-in-charge of St Barnabas and St Jude, and vicar of Holy Trinity, Jesmond in Newcastle. In 2017, he also became Area Dean of the Central Newcastle Deanery.[3] In 2018, he became acting Archdeacon of Northumberland, being appointed to the position in 2019.[4]
On 20 October 2020, it was announced that Wroe is to be consecrated a bishop in "early 2021", to serve as Bishop of Berwick, the suffragan bishop of the Diocese of Newcastle.[5] He was duly consecrated on 5 January 2021, by Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York, at York Minster.[6] On Christine Hardman's retirement, 30 November 2021, Wroe became acting diocesan Bishop of Newcastle (as sole suffragan bishop of the diocese).[7] He stepped down as acting diocesan bishop when Helen-Ann Hartley was installed as the next Bishop of Newcastle on 22 April 2023.[8]
