A very special welcome this Sunday
A new Archdeacon, an Associate Archdeacon and two new Honorary Canons will be welcomed by the Bishop of Chichester, Dr Martin Warner, at a special service in Chichester Cathedral on Sunday (28 September 3.00 pm).
The Revd Dr Thomas Carpenter becomes Archdeacon of Chichester and will work with colleagues supporting the deaneries and parishes of his archdeaconry. He was until recently Priest-in-Charge of St Luke's Southport.
The Revd Emma Ham-Riche will begin her newly created role as Associate Archdeacon for Diversity and Inclusion. She will also be made an Honorary Canon of the Cathedral as she continues in her roles as Rural Dean of Brighton and Priest-in-Charge of St John the Evangelist, Preston, with St Augustine and St Saviour, Brighton.
Also being welcomed as an Honorary Canon is The Revd Robert Norbury who, until his very recent retirement, was deputy director or ordinands for the Diocese in which he had undertaken a range of roles.
Family members, friends and members of congregations in which all three have served or are serving will join other guests for the service. All are invited to attend: Please register here
