THE process of appointing the next Bishop of Gloucester has begun.
At a meeting last month the Vacancy in See committee elected six of its members to join the Crown Nominations Commission.
This group, chaired by the Archbishop of Canterbury with further members drawn from the national church, will work with our locally appointed members to decide the person to be nominated to the Queen for appointment.
The six people elected were: Corinne Aldis, the Revd Dr Canon Tudor Griffiths, Canon Ian Marsh, the Revd Canon Richard Mitchell, the Venerable Robert Springett and Professor Jenny Tann.
People are now asked to write to these people with an expression of view or suggested names for the next bishop by Sunday 30 November.
Details of the process to select the next Bishop of Gloucester can be found on the Diocesan website at www.gloucester.anglican.org/about/the-next-bishop/
