New pastoral relationship with the Bishop of Salisbury

4th January 2021
New pastoral relationship with the Bishop of Salisbury

Today marks the next stage of the implementation of the recommendations of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission on the Relationship of the Channel Islands to the wider Church of England (published on 9 October 2019). 

Whilst the Right Reverend Trevor Willmott retains legal responsibility for the Channel Islands (the Deaneries of Guernsey and Jersey) until the legislative processes are complete, it has been agreed that episcopal oversight and pastoral responsibility for the Church of England in the Channel Islands transfer to the Bishop of Salisbury, the Right Reverend Nicholas Holtam, with effect from the beginning of January 2021. 

The Bishop of Salisbury and the Deans of Guernsey and Jersey have agreed a Memorandum of Understanding, which can be found here. Further background information can be found here. 

Further information about the Diocese of Salisbury can be found here.
