New Prebendaries

I am very pleased to announce that The Revd John Hawkins, The Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin, The Revd Michael Moorhead and The Revd Jonathan Osborne have accepted my invitation to become prebendaries of St Paul’s Cathedral.

John Hawkins served his title in Birmingham before coming to Poplar in 1992. He became Vicar of St John’s Hendon in 1999 and added responsibility for St Matthias, Colindale in 2007. As well as strenuously developing parish life he served as an energetic Area Dean of Barnet until 2009 and stimulated much creative activity as Chair of the London Olympics Focus Group. John will succeed Adrian Benjamin as Prebendary of Ealdstreet.

Rose Hudson-Wilkin spent seven years in the Diocese of Lichfield before becoming Vicar of Holy Trinity with St Philip Dalston and All Saints Haggerston in 1998. She was appointed a Chaplain to the Queen in 2008 and Chaplain to the Speaker of the House of Commons in 2010 where she makes a very significant contribution to our national life. Rose comes originally from Montego Bay, Jamaica and has been a champion for minority ethnic concerns both in Lichfield and London. Rose will succeed Steve Cox as Prebendary of Holywell alias Finsbury.

Michael Moorhead served his title at St Augustine Kilburn in 1983 and in 1987 moved to Willesden, becoming Vicar of Harlesden in 1989. He has been a great trainer, developing pastoral and preaching gifts amongst the laity as well as caring for many cohorts of curates as Director of Post Ordination Training. He has had a significant role in developing John Keble School and with boundless energy has been chaplain to Willesden Hospital and the local Air Training Corps as well as exercising his ministry as a family therapist and counsellor of fellow clergy. Michael will succeed John Root as Prebendary of Wilsden.

Jonathan served his title in St Albans before moving into hospital chaplaincy in Ealing in 2000. He was a very active member of the healthcare chaplaincy network in the Diocese. Since 2010 he has significantly developed the role of Chaplain to the Metropolitan Police, acting as a critical and supportive friend at the highest levels while being available throughout the force and promoting local chaplaincies. Jonathan Osborne will succeed Andy Windross as Prebendary of Ealdland.

John, Rose, Michael and Jonathan are representative of so many priests and lay men and women who work tirelessly in this Diocese serving our Lord Jesus Christ, the people of God and all who live and work in this great City. “I cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers.”

I hope many of you will join us at Evensong on Sunday 3 March at 3.15pm to welcome these new prebendaries as they are installed in the Cathedral.

New Bishop of Fulham

Downing Street has announced this morning that Jonathan Baker, currently Bishop of Ebbsfleet, has been appointed to succeed John Broadhurst in the Bishopric of Fulham. He will be moving to St Dunstan in the West Church in Fleet Street which will be the base for his ministry.

Bishop Jonathan grew up in Pinner in Middlesex, and as a boy attended the parish church of St Edmund the King, Northwood Hills, in the Willesden Episcopal Area of the Diocese of London. He was ordained deacon in 1993 and priest in 1994 in the Diocese of Oxford, and served in parish ministry in that diocese from 1993 – 2002, including seven years as parish priest of the Holy Trinity, Reading and St Mark’s, Reading. In 2003 he was appointed Principal of Pusey House in Oxford. Pusey House offers a pastoral ministry to students in the University of Oxford together with research and formational resources rooted in the revival of catholic teaching and practice within the Church of England known as the ‘tractarian’ or Oxford Movement.

I believe Bishop Jonathan will be a great asset to the London Team. He has already indicated his willingness to play the fullest possible part in the life of the whole Diocese as well as caring for the Fulham Parishes in London, Southwark and Rochester.

I am extremely grateful to the Bishop of Edmonton for carrying the heat and burden of the day, not only in the Edmonton Area where he had been serving for some time without archidiaconal support, but in the Fulham constituency in our region.

The formal date for a transfer of responsibilities will be Ash Wednesday, 13th February next year, and I hope very soon to be able to let you know about the programme of welcome and induction.

The Revd Mark Oakley appointed Canon Chancellor of St Paul’s Cathedral

The Bishop of London and St Paul’s Cathedral are pleased to announce that Canon Mark Oakley has been appointed as Canon Chancellor of St Paul’s. He will take up his new responsibilities on 1 January 2013, and will be filling the post which has been vacant since the resignation of Dr Giles Fraser in October 2011.

Canon Oakley became Treasurer of St Paul’s in 2010, after working as an archdeacon in Europe and in parish ministry in Mayfair and Covent Garden. He is a nationally known writer in theology and spirituality, with a keen interest in poetry and the arts, and has been supporting the work of the St Paul’s Institute for the past year.

The role of Chancellor at St Paul’s includes oversight of education, theology, the arts, mission and evangelism. The educational work of the Cathedral includes wider adult learning as well as work with schools and families who visit the Cathedral.

Among Canon Oakley’s first tasks will be a review of the work and structure of the St Paul’s Institute, in order to enable it to be as effective as possible in taking forward the Cathedral’s work in furthering the agenda of financial responsibility, social reform and sustainability within the framework of its Christian mission. The role of Director of the St Paul’s Institute will remain vacant for the time being.

The Bishop of London said:

“I am confident that with Mark Oakley at the helm, the Institute will continue to flourish and grow.”

The Dean of St Paul’s, the Very Revd David Ison, said:

“Canon Oakley has already made a very significant contribution to the work of St Paul’s, as well as engaging publicly with the interface between culture and Christian faith. I am delighted that he is to take up this new role, and look forward to working together with him and our colleagues on how the gospel of Jesus Christ can touch and transform the life of society.”

The post of Canon Treasurer at St Paul’s will shortly be advertised in order to fill the remaining vacancy on the Chapter.
