* date by which comments on the needs of the diocese or the wider church, or names of suggested candidates must be sent to the Archbishops’ Secretary for Appointments.
** Selecting a Bishop for the Diocese in Europe is a process very similar to English Dioceses except that it is not a Crown Appointment - the final decision is made by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London and a bishop nominated by the Standing Committee of the Anglican Consultative Council, acting jointly (section 6 of the Constitution refers). The Standing Committee of the Diocesan Synod acts as the Vacancy in See Committee for the Diocese and closely follows the Vacancy in See procedures as for all the other dioceses.
