We are very pleased to announce that Bishop Christopher has appointed The Revd Ruth Turner to be the next Team Vicar of William Temple Church, subject to completion of the usual procedures. Ruth is currently Associate Vicar in the Battersea Fields parish in the Diocese of Southwark. Prior to that she served in two parishes in Derbyshire. Ruth will bring to the role a wealth of experience in estates ministry and youth work and a passion for community engagement. She also has a strong musical background having been the Music Director of a large church in Oxford prior to ordination. It is expected that Ruth will be licensed at a service at William Temple on 10<sup>th</sup> September. In the meantime, do please pray for her as she prepares for her new ministry.
