Епархия Ирана является одним из четырех епархии англиканской провинции Иерусалим и Ближнего Востока . Епархия была основана в 1912 году как епархия Персии и была включена в Иерусалимский архиепископрик в 1957 году. [ 1 ] Самым последним епископом был Азад Маршалл , [ 2 ] До 2016 года. Его титул - епископ в Иране, а не часто ожидаемый епископ Ирана .
История
[ редактировать ]Revd. Генри Мартин посетил Персию в 1811 году. Он достиг Шираз , [ 3 ] Затем он отправился в Тебриз , чтобы попытаться представить шаха своим персидским переводом Нового Завета. Британский посол шаха не смог провести встречу, но доставила рукопись шаху. [4][5] The Church Missionary Society (CMS) was active in Persia from 1869, when the Revdd Robert Bruce established a mission station at Julfa in Ispahan.[6][7] Начало англиканской епархии Ирана было в 1883 году, когда Валпи Френч , епископский епископ, приехал в Лахор и путешествовал по Персии.
After Bishop Edward Stuart resigned as the Bishop of Waiapu in New Zealand, he served as a CMS missionary in Julfa from 1894 to 1911.[8][9][10]
In 1912, Charles Stileman became the first bishop of the new diocese. James Linton was consecrated as the next bishop in 1919. On 18 October 1935, William Thompson was consecrated as Iran's third bishop in St Paul's Cathedral, London. On 25 April 1961, he was succeeded by Hassan Dehqani-Tafti, the first native Persian bishop of Iran. On 11 June 1986, Iraj Mottahedeh was consecrated as the fifth bishop of Iran.[11]
When Iraj Mottahedeh retired in 2004, the Central Synod of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East invited Azad Marshall, a bishop of the Church of Pakistan and an associate bishop in the Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf, to provide episcopal oversight to the Diocese of Iran as its bishop. He was installed on 5 August 2007 in St Paul's Church in Tehran by Mouneer Anis, Bishop of Egypt and Presiding Bishop of the ECJME.[11]
Medical and education missions
[edit]The CMS mission in Persia expanded to include Kerman, Yezd (1893) and Shiraz (1900), with Mary Bird, a medical missionary, establishing hospitals at Kerman and Yezd.[12][13] The CMS mission operated hospitals and schools.[13] Responding to growing demand for clinical services in the mission clinic Dr. Bird started, Dr. Donald Carr founded and designed a men's and women's hospital, the Isa Bin Maryam Hospital, in Julfa, Isfahan, Iran, and the Shiraz Christian Missionary Hospital.[14][15]
