The Bishop of Chekiang, exercised episcopal leadership over the Diocese of Chekiang of the Anglican Church in China.
The diocese, similar in extent to the present-day Zhejiang, was originally established as part of the Church of England.
In 1918 Tsae-seng Sing, archdeacon of Chekiang from 1910 to 1918, was consecrated as assistant Bishop of the diocese, becoming the first ethnic Chinese bishop in the Anglican communion.
[1] In 1958 the last Bishop of Chekiang, K. H. Ting, lost his diocese when all Anglican and other Protestant Christian denominations were compulsorily merged into the Three-Self Patriotic Movement.
However, Ting remained President emeritus of the China Christian Council until his death in 2012.
