I am delighted by the news that Father Jonathan Goodall has been appointed as next Bishop of Ebbsfleet. I am sure that he will serve in his new role with great distinction, for the good of the Church and the glory of God.
I am looking forward to welcoming him into the little team of PEVs. However, we are part of a bigger team of Catholic Bishops who are seeking to maintain the Catholic tradition within the Church of England.
I hope that Fr Jonathan will help us to in our endeavours to continue to maintain an honoured and secure place in the Church of England, in order we may flourish within life and structures of the Church which we love so much, and to which we are solidly committed.
I will be praying much for Fr Jonathan as he prepares to take on his new role. I am looking forward to serving with him as a brother Bishop.
