description: "Helen-Ann Macleod Hartley is a British Anglican diocesan bishop, Lord Spiritual, and academic. Since 2023, she has served as the 13th Bishop of Newcastle in the Church of England. She previously served as Bishop of Waikato in New Zealand from 2014 to 2017, and area Bishop of Ripon in the Diocese of Leeds from 2018 to 2023. She was the first woman to have trained as a priest in the Church of England to join the episcopate, and the third woman to become a bishop of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. At the times of her appointments to Leeds and Newcastle she was respectively the youngest bishop and youngest diocesan bishop in the Church of England. She has repeatedly criticised senior bishops on matters related to safeguarding and power dynamics."
