Our new Bishop!

The Rt Revd Dr Andrew Rumsey has formally become Bishop of St Albans, following the Confirmation of his Election yesterday at St Mary-le-Bow in the City of London.

When his appointment was announced earlier this year, Bishop Andrew described his return as “a homecoming”, reflecting on his roots in the Diocese where he was born and baptised.

The Confirmation of Election now enables him to take up the legal responsibilities of the role. Bishop Andrew will move to St Albans and begin his ministry in the Diocese later this year. Further steps will follow, including paying Homage to His Majesty the King and his installation at St Albans Cathedral on Saturday 19 September. Arrangements for tickets will be announced soon.
