The Anglo-Prussian bishopric in Jerusalem was a Protestant episcopal see based in Jerusalem between 1841 and 1886. It was a joint venture of the Church of England and the Evangelical Church in Prussia.
The bishopric was established as a result of multiple missionary efforts in the Holy Land and the 1840 expedition by the Quadruple Alliance[disambiguation needed]. King Frederick William IV of Prussia saw an opportunity to establish a strong position for Evangelical Christians, as the Armenian, Greek, and Latin churches had long-standing treaty-sanctioned corporations and powerful protectors, while Protestants lacked regular standing. The king sent Bunsen to Queen Victoria to propose a joint Protestant bishopric, which was welcomed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London.
The endowment for the see was set at £30,000, ensuring an annual income of £1,200 for the bishop, who was to be appointed alternately by Prussia and England, with the Archbishop of Canterbury retaining veto power over Prussian nominations. The see was organized similarly to an Anglican bishopric, with its holder initially subject to the metropolitan authority of Canterbury. The bishop's jurisdiction extended beyond Palestine to Protestants in Syria, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Ethiopia, exercised according to the canons and usages of the Church of England.
