The Bishop of Chester, Mark Tanner has appointed Sean Augustin as Diocesan Secretary.

The appointment was announced on Friday 18 September, following an advertisement and competitive interview process, and after consultation with David Hermitt, Chair of the Diocesan Board of Finance.

“I am delighted at the vote of trust that Bishop Mark and the DBF has placed with me to support the important missional work of the diocese encompassed in its strategy.


"I am excited in the ambition the diocese has to reach the 1.5 million and the part that this role offers to achieve it, particularly with the support and desire of Church House staff to make a difference in people’s lives.


"My hope is that my service to the diocese will always reflect selflessness, joyfulness and sincerity.”
