Church of England: Plans to create 'bishop for church plants' get the go ahead

From Christian Today-

Plans to create a new "Bishop for Church Plants" are to go ahead following approval of the revival of the See of Islington.

The Dioceses Commission has told the London diocese that it can revive the century-old Islington see to allow the Bishop, Dr Richard Chartres, to appoint an episcopal leader for church planting.

The London diocese, home to evangelical flagship churches such as Holy Trinity Brompton and St Helen's Bishopsgate, has led the world in modelling church planting, and seen consistent growth in congregations as a result.
