Our Vicar to become Rural Dean

The Bishop of Carlisle made an announcement last weekend that the Rev'd Angela Whittaker is to become Rural Dean of the Kendal Deanery. This is in addition to her existing duties in Natland, Oxenholme and Old and New Hutton. It means that she will arrange for the care of parishes who are between vicars, chair Deanery meetings, care for the clergy in the Deanery and keep the Archdeacon and Bishop informed of deanery matters. Congratulations, Angela.
