The Right Reverend Norman Banks retired as Bishop of Richborough at Easter after 13 years of distinguished service in the role. We wish Bishop Norman a long and happy retirement, and give thanks to God for his service to the Church as a bishop.

The exercise to appoint Bishop Norman's successor has begun and, if you would like to contribute to that discernment process, then please make any suggestions to the following Church of England email address aaav.office@churchofengland.org by 19th May. Your prayers are asked for those involved in making the appointment.

As we enter Mary's month of May, The Society is delighted to learn of the election of Fr Philip Barnes as the Master of the Guardians, and of the appointment of Fr Ben Eadon as the next Priest Administrator, of the Anglican Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. We pray for them and their ministry, just as we pray for Fr David Waller as he prepares to enter episcopal orders and become the first Bishop Ordinary of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. Joy to thee O Queen of Heaven. Alleluia!
