We are delighted to share that The Very Revd Simon Robinson has been named as the next Bishop of Warrington.

This morning, it was announced that His Majesty The King has approved Simon’s nomination, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his ministry and in the life of our Diocese.

Speaking about his appointment, Simon reflected:

“When I first read the paperwork for the new Bishop of Warrington’s role, a literal fire burst into flame in my stomach. That fire has not gone out and grows stronger every day as I pray and prepare to move and take up this new role.

I am excited and daunted by what God has drawn me to next. I really do look forward to listening to and learning from the very many people of Warrington and the Diocese of Liverpool as we live and tell the story of Jesus Christ together.”

As Simon begins this journey towards joining us, we hold him in our prayers, giving thanks for his calling, and praying that he will know God’s peace, strength and encouragement in the months ahead.

We look forward to welcoming him warmly to the Diocese of Liverpool, as together we continue the mission of sharing the hope of Jesus Christ in our communities.
