Phillip Anthony "Tony" Crockett (23 August 1945 – 30 June 2008) was a Welsh Anglican bishop. He was the Bishop of Bangor from 2004 until his death from prostate cancer in 2008.
Crockett was born on 23 August 1945.[1] He was educated at Pontypridd County Grammar School, an all-boys state grammar school in Pontypridd.[2] He studied classics at King's College London, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1967. He remained at King's to study theology in preparation for ordination, completing a Bachelor of Divinity (BD) degree and the Associateship of King's College (AKC) qualification in 1970. He then underwent a year of training at St Michael's College, Llandaff, an Anglican theological college in Wales, leaving in 1971 to be ordained.
Crockett was ordained in the Church in Wales as a deacon in 1971 and as a priest in 1972. He was a curate at Aberdare and Whitchurch (Cardiff). From 1978 to 1986 he was Vicar of Llanafan y Trawsgoed then from 1986 Rector of Dowlais before serving eight years as the Secretary of the Board of Ministry of the Church in Wales. A fluent Welsh speaker,[3] his final post before his ordination to the episcopate was as Archdeacon of Carmarthen (1999-2004).[4]
In 2004, Crockett became the Bishop of Bangor.[5]
Crockett was the first divorced person in the United Kingdom to be appointed as a bishop in a mainstream church, amidst some controversy.[6] In 1985 he separated from his first wife, with whom he had three children. He married Caroline Ann Owen (born 1959) in 1999[7] and also ordained her in 2006.[8]
