New Rector for Oadby Announced

On the diocesan website you can find the following announcement:

"The Revd Stephen Andrew Bailey


The Bishop announces that the Revd Steve Bailey, Team Vicar, St Paul’s Oadby has been appointed also as Priest-in-Charge (Team Rector Designate) in the Oadby Team Benefice.

This appointment will be announced in church this Sunday, 20 August.  (This was duly announced by the Churchwarden, Vivien James on Sunday 20 August.) A licensing date will be announced in due course.

The slightly unusual wording is because the Parish of Oadby is in the process of becoming a team ministry with Great Glen, Burton Overy and Carlton Curlieu parishes. When that is complete Steve will become the Team Rector, officially.

We have valued Steve’s ministry among us for the last six years. Now we pray for his continued ministry, with this additional responsibility.
