Timeline

1963

Rachel Treweek (née Montgomery; born 4 February 1963) is an English Anglican bishop who sits in the House of Lords as a Lord Spiritual.

Born Rachel Montgomery on 4 February 1963, she was educated at Broxbourne School, a state school in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire.

1984

She studied at the University of Reading graduating in 1984 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in linguistics and language pathology.

Treweek's first career was as a speech and language therapist.

After six years as a paediatric speech therapist in the National Health Service, she left her job to train for ordination in the Church of England.

1994

Treweek studied for ordination at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, an Anglican theological college, and graduated with a Bachelor of Theology (BTh) degree in 1994.

1995

She was ordained deacon at Petertide 1994 (3 July), by David Hope, Bishop of London, at St Paul's Cathedral, and was introduced by Martin Wharton, Bishop of Kingston as a curate, the following Petertide (27 June 1995), at St George and All Saints Church, Tufnell Park, London, then becoming Associate Vicar, from 1997 to 1999.

1999

In 1999, she was appointed Vicar of St James-the-Less, Bethnal Green, London.

In addition to the incumbency, she was appointed the continuing ministerial education officer for the Diocese of London.

2006

In 2006, Treweek left parish ministry on her appointment as the Archdeacon of Northolt; this made her one of six archdeacons in the Diocese of London.

In 2006, she married Guy Treweek; he is a Church of England priest and was priest-in-charge of two ancient City of London parishes at the time of her appointment to the episcopate.

Treweek is a Patron of Prisoners Abroad, a charity supporting the welfare of Britons imprisoned overseas and their families.

2011

A former speech and language therapist, from 2011 until 2015, she was the Archdeacon of Hackney in the Diocese of London.

She held the position for five years before becoming the Archdeacon of Hackney on 14 May 2011.

2013

In September 2013, Treweek was elected as one of eight "participant observers" of the House of Bishops representing the South East of England.

Such observers were senior female priests who attended and participated in meetings of the House of Bishops until six women were sitting in the House by right as bishops.

She attended her first meeting of the House of Bishops of the General Synod of the Church of England on 9 December 2013.

2015

Since June 2015, she has served as Bishop of Gloucester, the first female diocesan bishop in the Church of England.

She relinquished this appointment on confirmation of her appointment as Bishop of Gloucester on 15 June 2015.

On 26 March 2015, it was announced that Treweek was to become the next Bishop of Gloucester, the diocesan bishop of the Diocese of Gloucester.

Though there had been two women appointed bishops previously in the Church of England, she was the first woman to be appointed a diocesan bishop, rather than as a suffragan bishop.

She was the first woman to become a bishop in the Province of Canterbury, jointly with Sarah Mullally, Bishop of Crediton.

On 15 June 2015, her election was confirmed during a sitting of the Arches Court of Canterbury at St Mary-le-Bow, City of London.

At this point, she legally became the bishop of Gloucester.

On 22 July 2015, she was consecrated by Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, during a ceremony at Canterbury Cathedral, she and Sarah Mullally (later Bishop of London) being the first women to be consecrated as diocesan bishops in the Church of England.

On 19 September 2015, she was installed at Gloucester Cathedral as the 41st Bishop of Gloucester.

Following the Lords Spiritual (Women) Act 2015, Treweek was the first woman bishop eligible to be admitted to the House of Lords as a Lord Spiritual when parliament reconvened in September 2015 after its summer recess, in place of Tim Stevens who had retired as Bishop of Leicester and Convenor of the Bishops in the Lords.

She sent back the first version of her writ of summons because it referred to her as a "Right Reverend Father in God" (bishops' writs have simply omitted "Father in God" ever since — even for male bishops).

Then, on 26 October 2015, she was introduced to the House by Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Richard Chartres, Bishop of London.

2016

On 8 July 2016, Treweek received an honorary doctorate (Hon DLitt) from her alma mater, the University of Reading.

2017

Explaining this view to The Observer, she said she "personally prefers to say neither 'he' nor 'she', but 'God'. 'Sometimes I lapse, but I try not to.'" The Diocese of Gloucester announced that, in January 2017, Treweek would preside at an LGBTI Eucharist with Inclusive Church.

In January 2023, she stated that she supports the celebration and blessing of "faithful monogamous same-sex relationships", but does not support changing the Church of England's doctrine of marriage (i.e. that marriage is the life long union of one man and one woman).

In November 2023, she was one of 44 Church of England bishops who signed an open letter supporting the use of the Prayers of Love and Faith (i.e. blessings for same-sex couples) and called for "Guidance being issued without delay that includes the removal of all restrictions on clergy entering same-sex civil marriages, and on bishops ordaining and licensing such clergy".

2020

In 2020, she became (additionally) Bishop to HM Prisons.

Treweek believes that God should be considered to be neither male nor female and tries to avoid using gender-specific pronouns when referring to God.
