Congrats Canon Rob ๐Ÿ‘

Archbishop Michael Jackson has announced two appointments to the Chapter of Christ Church Cathedral Dublin. Canon Professor Anne Lodge has been appointed Canon Treasurer and the Revd Rob Jones has been appointed the 12th Canon.

Making the announcement, the Archbishop said: โ€œThe Reverend Canon Professor Anne Lodge has served the cathedral assiduously both as its inaugural Priest Scholar and as a member of the Chapter. This she has done in a voluntary capacity in addition to her fullโ€“time duties in Dublin City University and as Director of The Church of Ireland Centre. I am delighted that Anne has accepted my invitation to be Canon Treasurer in succession to the Very Reverend Tom Oโ€™Brien, Dean of Christ Churchโ€.

He added: โ€œThe Reverend Robert Jones has served the diocese consistently and courageously over many years in a variety of parochial (as Rector of Rathmines with Haroldโ€™s Cross) and strategic capacities. During this time he has brought many people to faith in Jesus Christ and assisted them in sustaining this faith in the intricacies of daily life. I have great pleasure in appointing Rob to a Canonry in Christ Church Cathedral. I know that he will serve on the Chapter with compassion and wisdom.โ€
