Preacher: Richard Treloar

Richard Treloar

The Right Rev Dr Richard Treloar is the 13th and current Anglican Bishop of Gippsland in Victoria, Australia. He was consecrated and installed in August 2018. He initially studied medicine before pursuing a vocation in the church. He holds a PhD in biblical narrative, which was published in 2008. Prior to his appointment as Bishop, he served as the Vicar of Christ Church, South Yarra, which made him one of our ecumenical neighbours when we were still in South Yarra. He also spent nearly a decade as the Chaplain of Trinity College at the University of Melbourne. Bishop Richard has been a vocal advocate for Indigenous justice. In 2024, he famously testified before the Yoorrook Justice Commission, stating that it is "pretty hard to preach the gospel on stolen land".
