Byline: Rev Kathy Ferguson,Area Dean of Arwystli
AT our meeting today, the members of Arwystli Deanery clergy chapter were unanimous in warmly welcoming the appointment of the Venerable Tony Crockett to be the next Bishop of Bangor and in dissociating themselves totally from the comments recently published in the media concerning the appointment.
We look forward very much to welcoming our new Bishop to the diocese and pray that his ministry among us may be long,fruitful and happy. We have written to the Archbishop to this effect.
