Following a good interview process, an offer has been made and accepted for the new priest to look after the benefice, but there is a somewhat lengthy process to go though;The Bishop of Hull, the Rt Rev Dr Eleanor Sanderson will send a formal letter to make the offer and this has to be formally accepted.The full Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) process is started which can take up to three months.Following the completion of a satisfactory DBS process, the formal announcement will be made.The new priest has to give notice where they are currently and prepare to move.The new incumbent is a British person with experience in this country but is currently overseas which does complicate things a little... so they are not likely to be in post before February next year at the earliest.
