THE new Bishop of Sherborne has been announced.
It was announced this morning (Thursday) that the Venerable Karen Gorman will be the new Bishop of Sherborne.
The announcement was made by the government this morning and she will be consecrated as a bishop on February 24 at Westminster Abbey.
Karen is currently the Archdeacon of Buckingham.
Responding to the appointment, she said: “It has been a real privilege to serve the church in Buckinghamshire and work in the Diocese of Oxford. I now look forward to getting to know the people and places of Dorset, an area I have loved since childhood holidays.
“Dorset is a place of story, from Enid Blyton to Thomas Hardy, whose poetry I particularly enjoy, and we all have a unique story to tell, as individuals and as Christian Communities, of God’s love and grace. That's our witness to the world, and our biggest challenge is to have the confidence to share it.”
