CHURCH OF ENGLAND IN GIBRALTAR
Anglican religion was introduced in Gibraltar in the early 18th century after the conquest of the city by British troops. Gibraltar was at first subordinated to the Bishops of London, but in 1842 it became part of the newly erected Diocese of Gibraltar, which covered not only the colony itself, but also all other Anglican communities in Southern Europe and the Near East. __________________________________________________________________________________HEADS OF THE CHURCH
