Announcement from the Bishop Deanery Changes:
The current Gartree First and Gartree Second deaneries are being reshaped. These will remain two Deaneries with some adjustment of benefices between the two and will be known as Gartree Deanery and Launde Deanery. These changes are subject to the legal process being completed in due course. Bishop Martyn is pleased to announce that The Revd Stephen Bailey, Priest in Charge (Team Rector Designate) in the Oadby Team Ministry has been appointed also as Area Dean Designate of the Gartree Deanery for an initial period of five years. Steve will step down from his role as Warden of Readers. A process will begin to appoint a new Warden of Readers in due course. At the point of the proposed change taking effect, The Revd Alison Booker will cease to be Area Dean of Gartree Second and will continue as Area Dean of Gartree First, which will be reshaped and renamed as The Launde Deanery.
