Early life

Miller was born on 27 June 1966 to Paul and Hilary Miller. [2] He was educated at Haileybury and Imperial Service College, a private school in Hertfordshire. [3] He studied history at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, and graduated from the University of Cambridge with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1987; as per tradition, this was promoted to a Master of Arts (MA (Cantab)) degree in 1991. [3] [4]

Following graduation, he spent one year as a pastoral assistant at St James's Church, Sussex Gardens, an Anglo-Catholic church in Paddington, London. He then entered St Stephen's House, Oxford, an Anglo-Catholic theological college, to train for the priesthood and to study theology. [3] He graduated from the University of Oxford, of which St Stephen's House is a permanent private hall, with a BA degree in 1990; [4] as per tradition, this was promoted to an MA (Oxon) degree in 1993. [2]

[4] On 31 July 2015, he ceased to be Archdeacon of Hampstead upon his appointment as Priest-in-Charge of St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe. He became Archdeacon of London on 1 January 2016. [6] [7] He was also a Chaplain to the Queen (QHC) from 2020 to 2022, and has continued in that role as Chaplain to the King (KHC) since Charles III's succession in 2022. [8]

In addition to his parish and diocesan roles, Miller has served as a chaplain to the Sea Cadet Corps and is its London Area Chaplain. [9] [10] In 2022, he was awarded the Cadet Forces Medal; this is awarded in recognition of 12 years of long and efficient service in the UK Cadet Forces. [11]
