John Hine is a Roman Catholic bishop in England. He is an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Southwark, and he holds the titular see of Beverley.
John Franklin Meldon Hine was born in Tunbridge Wells, part of the Southwark Archdiocese, on 26 July 1938. He is the son of Lieutenant Commander Jack F. W. Hine (RN) and Moira E. Hine. He was educated by the Jesuits at Stonyhurst College and the Xaverian Brothers at Mayfield College.
After studying at the Venerable English College, Rome, Hine was ordained as a Catholic priest, on 28 October 1962 for the Archdiocese of Southwark. He served as Vicar General and Chancellor of the Archdiocese before his elevation to the episcopate, and was a Canon of the Cathedral of St George, Southwark and a Monsignor.
In 2001, the then Pope John Paul II, on the recommendation of the Apostolic Nuncio and the then Archbishop of Southwark, Michael Bowen, appointed Father Hine as auxiliary bishop for Southwark. He was consecrated by Archbishop Bowen on 27 February 2001, with Bishops Christopher Budd and Crispian Hollis as co consecrators, and assigned the titular see of Beverley. Archbishop Bowen gave him pastoral responsibility for the Kent Area of the Archdiocese, which comprises the deaneries of Canterbury, Chatham, Dover, Gravesend, Maidstone, Thanet and Bishop Hine's home area of Tunbridge Wells.
