The Rt. Revd Anne Hollinghurst is announced as the New Principal of Queens
From September 2024, Bishop Anne will succeed Prof Clive Marsh, who is retiring, as Principal of The Queen’s Foundation for Ecumenical Theological Educational, Birmingham.
‘It has been the most enormous privilege to serve as Bishop of Aston, and recently as Acting Bishop of Birmingham. Even as I write this, I acknowledge what a huge wrench it will be to step aside from day-to-day pastoral care, ministry and mission amongst you as a “jobbing bishop”. I take up my new role in September, and there will be opportunity for leave-taking and farewells in relation to my current ministry in due course, but I do want to express now that my following of this call will not mean that I stop praying for you all, or caring about what you and God will be up to together as part of Church of England Birmingham!’
