Archbishop of York to Visit the Diocese

Later this month, the Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, is making a missionary visit to the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham. Archbishop Stephen will be with us on 22nd-24th November, and will be visiting various churches, schools and organisations during his visit. He aims to share in and encourage the mission of the Church here in the diocese, as we seek to grow disciples of Christ with compassion, confidence and courage.

During his visit, the Archbishop will visit Nottingham City Transport with our Workplace Chaplain, Revd. Jo Tatum, and attend a Notts County match with Revd. Liam O’Boyle (Partnerships Officer and Notts County Chaplain).

Over the weekend, there are three opportunities for you to meet and hear from the Archbishop:
