Downing Street has announced that the Revd Canon Mary Gregory has been nominated as the next Bishop of Reading and the Revd Canon Dave Bull has been nominated as the next Bishop of Buckingham.
Mary is currently Canon for Reconciliation and the Arts at Coventry Cathedral. Dave is Team Rector of Marlow and Area Dean of Wycombe.
Full details of both candidates are now on our diocesan website. Mary and Dave will each be travelling across the diocese today meeting with clergy and civic leaders and many others.
Thank you to all who have prayed for the appointments process and were involved in any way in the consultations. Please continue to pray for Mary and Dave as they prepare to take up these new ministries at the end of February.
