Bishop Gavin wrote to clergy, wardens and Deanery lay chairs in the Dorchester Area last week about Archdeacon Judy’s farewell service, due to take place on 18 September. He also announced that Associate Archdeacon David Tyler will serve as Interim Archdeacon of Dorchester from 1 October, while the Revd Canon Toby Wright and the Revd Helen Kendrick have agreed to serve as joint Acting Assistant Archdeacons.
The Oxford Diocese echoed Bishop Gavin in thanking Judy for the amazing work she has done in her eight years in post.
