Peter Eagles

Episcopal ministry

On 4 May 2017, it was announced that Eagles would be the next Bishop of Sodor and Man. He was consecrated a bishop on 22 June 2017 during a service at York Minster, by John Sentamu, Archbishop of York. He was installed at the Cathedral Church of St German in Peel, Isle of Man on 30 September 2017. As Bishop of Sodor and Man, he has an ex-officio seat on the Legislative Council of the Isle of Man which he took up upon his installation as bishop.

In March 2023, it was announced that Eagles would retire as Bishop of Sodor and Man after six years in the post in October 2023. His farewell service was held on 28 October followed by the laying down of his crozier, symbolically ending his time as bishop. He retirement was effective 31 October 2023.

Views Eagles belongs to the Anglo-Catholic wing of the Church of England. Though he has a traditionalist background, due to the circumstances of the Diocese of Sodor and Man (only having one bishop), he plans to "ordain all who are called to be deacons and priests". As such, he has ordained women to the priesthood.

Personal life In 1992, Eagles married Gail Seager. Together they have one son. On 15 October 2015, he was installed as an honorary canon of Salisbury Cathedral.
