Bishop Jonathan is delighted to announce that The Rev Wil North (Rector, Barming with Teston) and The Rev Nick Cornell (Rector, Southborough Christ Church) have accepted his invitation to take up the shared role of Associate Archdeacon in the Tonbridge Archdeaconry.
Associate Archdeacon roles have been sought in each archdeaconry.
These newly created posts, which are being funded by grants from the national church, aim to provide support to the Archdeacon, working as their representative in various matters including pastoral issues, complaints, recruitment, meetings, and some project boards.
The posts are for an initial fixed period of three years and will be carried out in conjunction with their existing parish ministry.
Wil and Nick started their new roles on Monday 24 June 2024.
Please pray for them as they settle into their new ministry.
