Early life and education

[edit]

Ineson was born in 1969 in Birmingham, England.[1][2] She was brought up in Kenya and South Wales.[2] She studied English language and linguistics at the University of Birmingham,[3] graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1992 and a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degree in 1993.[1] She undertook postgraduate research in the "power and authority in the language of worship" at Birmingham,[4] and completed her Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in 1998.[1]

At the age of 24, Ineson felt the call to ordination.[5] While studying for her doctorate, she entered Trinity College, Bristol, an evangelical Anglican theological college to train for ordained ministry.[1] She also studied theology and graduated with a further BA degree in 1999.[1]

Ordained ministry

[edit]

Ineson was ordained in the Church of England: made deacon at Petertide 2000 (2 July) at Sheffield Cathedral (with her husband among others)[6] and ordained a priest the following Petertide (4 July 2001; with her husband alone) at their title church — both times they were ordained by Jack Nicholls, Bishop of Sheffield.[7] From 2000 to 2003, she undertook her curacy at Christ Church, Dore in the Diocese of Sheffield:[1] unusually, this was a job-share with her husband.[3] She then moved to Devon where she was a chaplain to the Lee Abbey, an ecumenical Christian community, between 2003 and 2006.[1][4]

In 2006, Ineson returned to Bristol having been appointed a non-stipendiary minister in the Parish of St Matthew and St Nathanael, Bristol.[1] In 2007, she was additionally made a tutor in practical and pastoral theology at her alma mater Trinity College, Bristol.[1][4] From 2013 to 2014, she served as chaplain to the Bishop of Bristol (then Mike Hill).[8] In April 2014, she once more returned to Trinity College, Bristol having been appointed its principal in succession to George Iype Kovoor.[3][9]

Episcopal ministry

[edit]

On 9 May 2018, it was announced that Ineson would be the next Bishop of Penrith, the suffragan bishop of the Diocese of Carlisle, in succession to Robert Freeman.[8][10] On 27 February 2019, she was consecrated as a bishop by John Sentamu, Archbishop of York, during a service at York Minster.[2][11][12] Since July 2019, she has also served as Central Chaplain of the Mothers' Union.[13][14]

On 19 April 2021, it was announced that Ineson is to move to Lambeth Palace, to become "Bishop to the Archbishops of Canterbury and York". She took up the appointment on 1 June 2021, replacing the Bishop at Lambeth as episcopal assistant to Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury; and adding to this assisting Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York, coordinating between Lambeth and Bishopthorpe, and overseeing the Lambeth Conference 2022 programme.[15] Since 2022, she has also been an honorary assistant bishop in the Diocese of Southwark.[16]

On 15 December 2022, it was announced that she would be the next Bishop of Kensington, an area bishop in the Diocese of London.[17] [18] She was translated to the See of Kensington upon swearing the oaths at a service on 19 February 2023; and became area bishop for West London in the same service.[19][20]

Personal life

[edit]

Ineson is married to Mat Ineson,[3] who is also an Anglican priest.[21] They had met while studying at the University of Birmingham, and went together to Trinity College, Bristol to train for ordained ministry.[2] They have two children.[11]
