Appointment of new Bishop
Bishop Alastair retired as Bishop of Derby on 31/8/18.
When there is no bishop, the vacancy is known as a Vacancy-in-See.
The process to appoint a new diocesan bishop is led, on behalf of the Diocese, by the Vacancy-in-See Committee, the members of which listed below.
The Archdeacon of Derby, the Venerable Dr Christopher Cunliffe, has been elected as Chair of the Committee by Bishop’s Council, and the Registrar, Mrs Nadine Waldron, has been elected Secretary.
They will be the ones primarily involved in organising the process following guidance from the Archbishops’ Appointments’ Secretary, in this instance Mr Brad Cook, and from the Prime Minister’s Appointments’ Secretary, Mr Edward Chaplin.
The dedicated e-mail address by which people will be able to write to the Vacancy-in-See Committee is vacancyinsee@derby.anglican.org No individual responses will be made but views and comments will be considered as part of the process of appointing a new bishop.
The following members elected from the Vacancy In See Committee will serve on the national body, the Crown Nominations Commission, to choose the next Diocesan Bishop for the Diocese of Derby.
The six named will serve alongside six national representatives, chosen by the General Synod of the Church of England, together with the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York.
You are invited to contact any one or more of these members. Any e-mails sent to vacancyinsee@derby.anglican.org will be forwarded to all of the people listed above.
