Our favourite guru, John Wilkins, the distinguished editor of the Tablet from 1982 to 2003, is retiring from our National ACTA Leadership Team. He is not leaving us - he will still be active in Westminster ACTA, but is stepping down from the LT to give more time to his many editing and writing commitments. He remains our good friend. His wisdom, professionalism and insight have been invaluable. We are deeply in his debt. Thank you, John.

In a statement the Diocese says: "This release followed a very successful consultation process during the latter half of 2016. The consultation saw over 2000 responses to the proposed plans. The overwhelming majority of these responses were positive, as parishioners across the diocese embraced the message of the diocese moving forward to enable its local mission."
