The Rt Rev Peter Ball, 80, who served as the Bishop of Lewes and later Bishop of Gloucester, was arrested at his home in Somerset, on suspicion of eight sex offences against eight boys and young men.
The alleged victims were aged from 12 to their early 20s in the late 1980s and 1990s when the offences allegedly took place in Sussex.
A second man, named by sources as the Rev Vickery House, 67, was also detained at his home this morning near Haywards Heath, West Sussex, on suspicion of separate sex offences against two teenage boys in East Sussex between 1981 and 1983, Sussex Police said.
It comes after a six month inquiry into allegations of abuse centering on the diocese of Chichester by a team of Sussex Police detectives.
