DESCRIPTION:After 16 years of ministry in the Diocese\, Bishop Alan will b
 e moving back to his childhood county of Wiltshire. \n\nDean Jo said\, "As
  the Mother Church of the Diocese of St Albans we are so very grateful for
  the faithful and generous leadership of Bishop Alan Smith. He has encoura
 ged and inspired us to Live God's Love and cared deeply for the communitie
 s of this Diocese. Bishop Alan has also served our nation with wisdom and 
 dedication in the House of Lords as a Lord Spiritual. We pray for him as h
 e prepares for retirement and for our Diocese in this time of transition".
  \n\nBishop Alan said that it had been the privilege of his life to serve 
 as the Bishop of St Albans\, but as he turns 68 next month\, the time had 
 come to lay down his responsibilities and to hand the baton of leadership 
 on to whomever the Lord calls to succeed him.
