A message from the Very Revd Andy Bowerman, Dean of Bradford:
“On Sunday morning at the Cathedral we announced the news that the Revd Pete Gunstone has been appointed, by the acting Bishop of Carlisle, as a Residentiary Canon and Precentor of Carlisle Cathedral.
“We offer Pete our warmest congratulations on this news. He has served us with generosity, skill and grace and we are very grateful.
“He will be continuing in his role of Minor Canon for Worship and Nurture here at Bradford until a finish date is announced, ahead of his licensing on Sunday 15th June at 3pm in Carlisle.
“In the meantime do please join me in congratulating him, and in praying for him and Kirsten as they begin to plan for the transition.”
Dear Pete,
Claire and I want to congratulate you on your new appointment as Precentor of Carlisle Cathedral and send you our good wishes for your future mission and ministry in the Carlisle Diocese.
With our love and prayers for both you and Kersten.
David and Claire Hughes
This is a great move for Pete and Kirsten but see what the gorgeous Senka thinks about going further towards the North Pole!
A very warm welcome is assuredly waiting for Pete and Kirsten here at Carlisle – where we have a lovely new heating system, as well as a friendly crew. Congratulations!
