Timeline

1957

Timothy Martin Thornton (born 14 April 1957) is a retired British Anglican bishop.

Thornton was born on 14 April 1957.

He was educated at Devonport High School for Boys, an all-boys grammar school in Plymouth, Devon.

1978

He studied theology at the University of Southampton, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1978.

That year, he entered St Stephen's House, Oxford, an Anglo-Catholic theological college, to train for the priesthood.

1981

He was ordained in the Church of England: made a deacon at Petertide 1980 (29 June) and ordained a priest the Petertide following (28 June 1981), both times by Colin James, Bishop of Wakefield at Wakefield Cathedral.

He began his ministry with a curacy at Todmorden and then as priest-in-charge at Walsden.

He then became bishop's chaplain to David Hope: successively in the Diocese of Wakefield and the Diocese of London.

1994

From 1994 until 1998 he was Principal of the North Thames Ministerial Training Course.

His final post before his ordination to the episcopate was as the vicar of Kensington.

1997

He later studied at King's College London graduating with an MA in 1997.

2000

He was a trustee of the Church Army 2000–2008.

He is a trustee of the following Cornish charities: Volunteer Cornwall, BF Adventure (formerly Bishops Forum), Cornwall Community Foundation.

2001

He was previously the area Bishop of Sherborne from 2001 to 2008, the diocesan Bishop of Truro (2009–2017), and a Member of the House of Lords (2013–2017).

On 21 October 2001, Thornton was consecrated a bishop by George Carey, the then Archbishop of Canterbury, at Southwark Cathedral.

From 2001 to 2008, he served as the Bishop of Sherborne, an area bishop of the Diocese of Salisbury.

2009

He was installed as Bishop of Truro at Truro Cathedral on 7 March 2009.

2010

Thornton has chaired the Board of Trustees of The Children's Society from 2010.

2013

In 2013, Thornton became eligible to join the Lords Spiritual in the House of Lords upon the retirement of Nigel McCulloch, the then Bishop of Manchester, as the next longest serving diocesan bishop.

He officially became a Lord spiritual on 31 January 2013; however, he did not take his seat until he was introduced to the House in April 2013.

2015

In 2015, Thornton was the Anglican delegate to the XIV Ordinary General Assembly of the (Roman Catholic) Synod of Bishops.

2016

In March 2016, Thornton was cited in a Guardian report on the Elliott Review as one of several senior figures who had received a disclosure of child sex abuse but had "no recollection".

The review, led by Ian Elliott, found this lack of memory difficult to countenance.

"What is surprising about this is that he (the survivor) would be speaking about a serious and sadistic sexual assault allegedly perpetrated by a senior member of the hierarchy. The fact that these conversations could be forgotten about is hard to accept", Elliott wrote.

The survivor had tried repeatedly to alert the archbishop's office to critical concerns arising from these denials, but was ignored on the instruction of the church's insurers.

The resulting Elliott Review led to damning headlines across the UK and world media and kickstarted significant cultural and structural change in the Church of England's response to sex abuse cases.

The review called for all bishops to be retrained.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, reportedly said "the situation is embarrassing and uncomfortable for the church".

In an open letter the survivor urged Thornton to lead a call for repentance across the House of Bishops.

From October 2016, ThorntonStyle sat on the Church of England's National Safeguarding Steering Group (NSSG)

Thornton is married to Siân, one of His Majesty's Inspectors of Education (HMI) in England.

Together, they have two adult children.

2017

His final post was as Bishop at Lambeth, Bishop to the Forces, and Bishop for the Falkland Islands (2017–2021).

On 4 April 2017, it was announced that he was to resign his see to become Bishop at Lambeth, the Archbishop of Canterbury's episcopal chief of staff at Lambeth Palace, in September 2017.

Thornton retired as Bishop at Lambeth effective 30 September 2021, having already resigned as Bishop to the Forces and for the Falklands — his successors in these two posts were each commissioned on 20 September 2021.

Since 2017, he has been an honorary assistant bishop in the dioceses of London, Portsmouth, and Southwark.

He also holds permission to officiate in the Diocese of Salisbury.
