Dr Emma Ineson
THE post of Bishop at Lambeth has been abolished and replaced by “Bishop to the Archbishops of Canterbury and York”, it was announced on Monday. The first holder of the new post, Dr Emma Ineson, currently Suffragan Bishop of Penrith, says that she will use the post to bring together the north and south of England.
The current Bishop at Lambeth, the Rt Revd Tim Thornton, announced his retirement earlier this year (News, 12 February). The new arrangement is to “facilitate closer working” between Lambeth Palace and Bishopthorpe, a note from the Palace explained.
