“I am very glad to have been appointed as the next Area Dean of Enfield. I am looking forward to getting to know in greater depth the churches and communities which make up this fascinating and diverse borough. I hope that, by God’s grace, I can be a source of support and encouragement particularly to my fellow clergy, and to parishes managing a vacancy. I also look forward to supporting Bishop Anderson and the wider life of the Edmonton Episcopal Area.”

Sarah Archer, Area Director of Ministry

“I am very much looking forward to this new role in the Edmonton Area and to meeting you all. I am currently an Area Director of Ordinands and Training Incumbent in the Willesden Area. I have loved hearing stories of how God is working in the lives of those discerning a call to ordained ministry and facilitating the formation and training of the curates in my parish. I am glad that this post will provide the opportunity to become more involved in this rewarding work and to work together with a great team to structure training aimed at equipping us all to better fulfil our shared vocation to be disciples who make disciples.”
