Coventry Cathedral and The Bishop of Coventry, the Right Reverend Sophie Jelley, are pleased to announce the appointment of the Revd Canon Andrew Dodd as the next Dean of Coventry. Andrew is currently Canon Treasurer at Canterbury Cathedral.
Andrew says:
“'I am honoured to be the next Dean of Coventry and excited to join Bishop Sophie and her team serving the Cathedral and wider diocese. Coventry Cathedral has long stood as a powerful sign of hope in a fractured world. Its commitment to peace and reconciliation, rooted in its own story, speaks directly to the needs of our time. In a world so often marked by conflict, Coventry’s witness reminds us that healing and new beginnings are possible."
We are looking forward to welcoming Andrew, who will take on the position of the next Dean of Coventry from the 28th November 2026. We pray for Andrew and his family as he prepares to join us in Coventry.
