https://www.crockford.org.uk/faq/how-to-address-the-clergy
Bishops, Diocesan and Suffragan
- The Right Reverend the Bishop of X, or The Right Reverend the Lord/Lady Bishop of X
- Bishop, or more formally My Lord/Lady
- The Bishop of X at the first mention, and the Bishop thereafter.
In the case of an archdeacon, dean/provost, bishop, or archbishop in office, the style above is to be preferred. The personal name should be used only for the purpose of identification.
Notes
- It is a matter of individual preference whether the title ‘Lord’/’Lady’ should be used.
- The Bishop of London is a Privy Councillor, and has the style ‘The Right Reverend and Right Honourable the Lord Bishop of London’.
- The Bishop of Meath and Kildare is styled ‘The Most Reverend’.
