Today it has been announced that Adrian will be the next Bishop of Stepney.
This is excellent news for the Church of England, and the Diocese of London in particular – although sad news for both Rochester Cathedral and Diocese.

In the short time I have spent with Adrian I have learned a lot and could not have asked for a better training incumbent. It was always clear to many that he would become a bishop – and be an excellent one.

There will be sadness in a few months when we say farewell. Today, however,  is a day to celebrate a fantastic church appointment. Congratulations Mr Dean!
