The Rt. Rev. Nicholas Dill

Bishop Nicholas Dill was born on Dock Hill, Devonshire and has degrees in Politics and History from the University of Toronto and Law from the University of London. He practiced as a barrister in London and Bermuda, working at the firm founded by his grandfather, Conyers, Dill & Pearman. During this time, he felt the call of God to offer himself for ministry and pursued studies at Wycliffe Hall Theological College at the University of Oxford.

In February 2013 he was elected as the next Bishop of Bermuda. In May of the same year, he was consecrated in the Cathedral in Hamilton. Bishop Dill is looking to see where God is leading the Church – but knows it includes a greater emphasis on evangelism, youth, communication, work within the community and with Christian brothers and sisters of every denomination, fueled by the scriptures and prayer.

Bishop Nick is husband to Fiona, and father to 6 amazing children.
