| The Archdeacon of Derby,
The Venerable Dr Christopher Cunliffe
 Christopher
Cunliffe was installed as Archdeacon of Derby on Saturday
29th April 2006.
Christopher began his ordained ministry
in the Diocese of Derby when he was Assistant Curate at St
Mary and All Saints Church in Chesterfield (the famous Crooked
Spire) from 1983-1985. He worked alongside his wife who was
also a Curate at the church in one of the first job-share
arrangements in the Church of England.
In 1985 he became Chaplain of Lincoln College, Oxford, until
1989, when he became Chaplain of the City University and
the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London. In 1991
he took a post in the Church of England's Advisory Board
of Ministry, Westminster, which involved co-ordinating vocation
and selection conferences for people seeking ordination.
From 1997-2003 he was Director of Ministry in the Diocese
of London and has been Chaplain to the Bishop of Bradwell
in the Diocese of Chelmsford since 2004.
Christopher's wife, Helen, is currently an Archdeacon in
the Diocese of St Albans and the couple are the first husband
and wife Archdeacons in the Church of England. They have
two grown-up children, Edward and Jacob. Christopher is a
keen historian, with a doctorate in the subject and a continuing
interest in research and writing. He also has an interest
in African history and culture, stimulated by recent visits
there. To relax, he enjoys reading fiction and poetry, listening
to music, and watching sport.
