Next Bishop of St Albans announced
Downing Street has announced that the Rt Revd Dr Andrew Rumsey, currently Bishop of Ramsbury in the Diocese of Salisbury, is to be the next Bishop of St Albans. Bishop Andrew, a native of Hitchin, returns to the Diocese in which he was born and baptised, describing the appointment as “a homecoming”. The full announcement is on the Diocesan website. A prayer for Bishop Andrew :
God, eternal shepherd, you tend your Church in many ways and rule us with love. You have chosen your servant, Andrew, to be shepherd of your flock in the Diocese of St Albans. Give him a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he build your Church as a sign of salvation for the world.
Amen.
