  • Diocese in Europe's 2019 Annual Review

    Diocese in Europe's 2019 Annual Review

    Annual Review 2019 Message from Our Bishops Welcome to the Diocese in Europe’s 2019 Annual Review. We are delighted to present a Review covering the life of the Diocese over the past twelve months, produced as an issue of European Anglicans, our new Diocesan publication launched this summer. People across the length and breadth of the Diocese have again made possible the stories and the content that have gone into this Review, and for this we are truly grateful. Clearly, there are more highlights, reflections and achievements than there is space to acknowledge. The Review is a tour d’horizon of selected stories and images drawn from the published content of the Diocesan website, and our Bishops’ blogs over the course of this year. We hope you will enjoy them once more here. An important theme of our efforts this year has been consolidation. Among these include continued work to secure our long-term financial position. We are thankful for the increased contributions this year from chaplaincies to our common fund, and we welcome significant steps on future common funding arrangements. We have also been successful in the award of further strategic funding from the Church Commissioners that will provide us with more full-time stipendiary Archdeacons. Our new central senior staff have now been in post for a year: Andrew Caspari as Diocesan Secretary/Chief Operating Officer; Susan Stelfox as Head of Finance; and Damian Thwaites as Diocesan Bishop’s Attaché to the European Institutions and Director of Communications. We have also welcomed Grace Fagan in November, who has succeeded Andrea Watkins as Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser.
