The
Diocese of Christchurch is seeking
a Dean
of the ChristChurch Cathedral
Expressions
of interest are invited, and a Cathedral Profile
will
be available in mid April.
REVISED
Application Deadline: Tuesday, 4 June 2013
ChristChurch Cathedral
has attracted world attention in recent years and is now looking for a
mission-focused and visionary leader. Excellence in communication skills and
particularly the proclamation of the word are priorities. The ability to direct
and inspire the mission of the Cathedral for the next decade and beyond will be
essential, as is the ability to form a relationship with the local and global
community, as the ChristChurch Cathedral continues to work towards
re-establishing herself in Cathedral Square.
The new Dean will
preside in the post-earthquake Transitional Cathedral (opening Easter 2013) for
up to ten years, and will possess a comprehensive knowledge of, and commitment
to, Anglican liturgy and church music. Strong people skills and a love for the
Gospel are of top importance. The Cathedral anticipates the new Dean will begin
the appointment in the
latter part of 2013.
Interested inquirers
should read the Cathedral webpages found at www.christchurchcathedral.co.nz
and cardboardcathedral.org.nz .

I note, Peter, that - of the parishes mentioned as being 'vacant', that of Holy Trinity, Avonside has already been filled - by Fr. Aaron Annan. (I do hope there are not too many applicants from the Sydney Diocese!)
Regarding the post of diocesan Communications Officer, it should by now be obvious that this is a very strategic post - requiring real communication skills, untrammelled by spiritual or political bias against our Diocesan Bishop. To guarantee anything less would be a dis-service to both her and to the diocese.
I think you will find, Ron, that that is a temporary assistance for the time-being. The selection of a permanent incumbent as 'Vicar' has not occurred.
Some of our best clergy have been trained in Sydney. We should be slow to make generalisations about where we want or do not want our clergy to come from.
