Bishop Michael has appointed two Assistant Archdeacons of Lichfield. They will take up these temporary roles from Wednesday 26th March during Archdeacon Sue’s period of recovery from recent surgery which is to be followed by chemo and radiotherapy, after the sad news of the recurrence of her cancer.
They are:
- Revd Preb Simon Davis, Rural Dean of Rugeley and Rector of Abbots Bromley, Blithfield, Colton, Colwich and Great Haywood
- The Revd Lynn McKeon, Rural Dean of Lichfield and Vicar of Farewell and Gentleshaw.
Bishop Michael said: “Sue has full confidence in Simon and Lynn and Bishop Tim and I look forward very much to working with them. Archdeacon Sue remains in post and her authority will be delegated as needed and appropriate. Assistant Archdeacons Simon and Lynn will hold these posts initially until 25th December 2025. Please keep them and especially Archdeacon Sue in your prayers in these coming months.”
