Now Easter has come it seems like Spring has too! A Happy and Joyful Easter to all WATCH news people.
Congratulations to WATCH member Paula Gooder who is to be a Lay Canon of Salisbury Cathedral. If you get the Church Times you will have been reading extracts from her book This Risen Existence.
Paula used to be our Book Reviews editor for OUTLOOK. She is Canon Theologian of Birmingham Cathedral, Hon Lecturer of the University of Birmingham, and Associate Lecturer of St Mellitus College, London already!
Congratulation also to the Revd Shirley Griffiths who will be the next Archdeacon of Wrexham and Rector of Llandegla in St Aspah diocese in Wales. Peggy Jackson became the first woman Archdeacon in Wales when she became Archdeacon of Llandaff last year - but Peggy is English and Shirley is actually Welsh, so she is the first Welsh woman to be made archdeacon in Wales! Shirley held posts in Ripon & Leeds diocese before moving to be vicar of Abergele and St George in the diocese of St Asaph.
Earlier this year I sent you the news that two women had been elected bishop in the Diocese of Los Angeles.
The Revd Canon Diane Jardine Bruce was elected on 4 December.
Then the Revd Mary Douglas Glasspool was elected on 5 December!
These two elections have now been confirmed, so now it is sure that Diane and Mary will be suffragan bishops in the Diocese of Los Angeles.
Happy post Easter spring days!
