Bishop of Clifton

Bishop of Clifton

The Bishop of Clifton heads the Catholic Clifton Diocese in the Province of Birmingham, in England. The current bishop is the Right Reverend Declan Ronan Lang, 9th Bishop of Clifton.

Bishop Lang has taken for his motto "Evangelii Nuntiand" meaning "Proclaim the Gospel". When asked why he had chosen this, he said, "It is the opening words from an Apostolic Exhortation of Paul Vl made on 8 December 1975, it is simply, one of the most important statements for the Church in this modern age."
