Christopher Boyle
Edit Profilepriest Assistant Bishop of Leicester
Career
He was Bishop of Northern Malawi (2001–2009) and has been Assistant Bishop of Leicester since 2009. He was ordained priest a year later, one year into serving his four-year title as assistant curate at Emmanuel, Wylde Green. In 1980, Boyle became Chaplain to Hugh Montefiore, Bishop of Birmingham until 1983, when he became Rector at Street Mary and Street Margaret, Castle Bromwich.
While in Castle Bromwich, he also served as Area Dean of Coleshill (1992–1999), Priest-in-charge at All Saints, Shard End (1996–1997) and Honorary Canon of Street Philip"s Cathedral, Birmingham (from 1996), until his emigration in 2001.
In 2001, he became an Anglican bishop when he was consecrated Bishop of Northern Malawi, following his 2000 election to the post. He served in Africa for eight years before resigning to return to Britain – his successor as diocesan bishop was the first African bishop to served in that role.
He became Assistant Bishop of Leicester, and the first full-time stipendiary assistant bishop, acting as if a suffragan bishop, in the Diocese of Leicester, upon his installation on 6 September 2009. The Reverend Christopher Boyle (1976–1996)
