Dagmar Winter (bishop)

Dagmar Winter (born 1965) is a bishop in the Church of England. She has served as Bishop of Huntingdon, a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Ely, since 2019.[1]

Dagmar Winter studied in Aberdeen and Heidelberg in Germany, before being ordained in 1996. She was made a deacon at Petertide that year (29 June)[2] and ordained a priest the Petertide following (28 June 1997) — both times by Michael Nazir-Ali, Bishop of Rochester, at Rochester Cathedral.[3] She served her title at Bromley, Greater London, before spending just over six years as associate vicar at Hexham Abbey, from 1999 to 2006. Winter was Rector of Hexham Abbey and priest in charge of Kirkwhelpington, Kirkharle, Kirkheaton and Cambo from 2006, and the officer for rural affairs in the Diocese of Newcastle.[4]

She was consecrated as a bishop at St Paul's Cathedral on 3 July 2019 by Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury.[5][6]
