Vacancy for Bishop of Leeds

As the Diocese prepares for a new Bishop of Leeds, your views are wanted - please complete the online survey or the postcard.

Vacancy in See process - public consultation launches and new prayer resources

The Diocese of Leeds has launched its public consultation looking for the views of all people across our region about the next Bishop of Leeds.

We are asking for people to answer three questions about our new bishop and the future of our diocese, which are:

• What are your three hopes for the future of the church in your community?

• What three words describe the main skills and qualities the next Bishop of Leeds needs to have, to help us grow in confidence as a diocese?

• What is the one thing you want to say to the next Bishop of Leeds?

These questions can be answered by filling in our online form, which can be found here, or by scanning the QR code.

As part of the consultation process, we have produced postcards with the questions on them which are being sent to every church, which can be filled in by hand and are pre-addressed to be posted back to Church House in Leeds. Alongside these we have produced and are sending a poster advertising the consultation to every church, with a QR code to access the online form on it. More of these are available on request.

Prayer remains vital to this process, so please do be praying for all involved in this work. Our first set of Vacancy in See Prayer Resources have been produced, and are are now available here.

Please do share these links, and the consultation postcards when they arrive. More on the Vacancy in See process can be found here.
