New Bishop of Peterborough is announced
The Prime Minister’s Office has announced today that the next Bishop of Peterborough is to be the Ven. Donald Allister, currently Archdeacon of Chester. He succeeds the Rt Revd Ian Cundy, who died in May. The Church of England’s Peterborough Diocese unites churches in Northants, Rutland
and most of Peterborough city.
The dates of Donald Allister’s consecration as a bishop (which will take place in London) and his installation in Peterborough are as yet undecided but it is hoped that they will be in the early spring.
As his role was announced, Archdeacon Donald said, “I am overwhelmed by this new job but believe it is the Church’s call and God’s call to me. I’m looking forward to leading the Diocese of Peterborough, and getting to know the people, churches and communities there.”
The Dean of Peterborough Cathedral, the Very Revd Charles Taylor, said “I very much look forward to welcoming, installing and working closely with Donald Allister. He has a great loyalty and love for the Church in all its diversity, a breadth of pastoral and administrative experience, a heart for mission
and a care for the community.
