| Acting Archdeacon | 22nd Aug 2007 | Download | Email to a Friend |
The Bishop of Coventry writes:
In view of the dearth of archdeacons this autumn (Mark Bryant off to be Bishop of Jarrow in September, and Michael Paget-Wilkes on study leave), the Bishop of Coventry has appointed the Rev’d Roger Morris to be acting archdeacon for the whole diocese for the period September to December. He will also continue to head up the Department for Parish Development and Evangelism, though, for obvious reasons, at a somewhat reduced level.
Any matters that are deemed to be archidiaconal in nature should be referred to Roger, though it is clearly not realistic to expect him to know all the answers to every question!
Roger, it should be noted, is not a candidate for the vacancy in the Coventry Archdeaconry, interviews for which take place on 20th September. There is an exceptionally strong field of candidates and making the right choice will not be easy. Please pray for the advisory panel (which includes a Lay Chair and an Area Dean from the archdeaconry) and for Bishop Colin who will make the final decision.
