Chad was the first Bishop of Lichfield. He died on 2 March 672, now celebrated as St Chad's Day. Consultations are now completed until the Archbishops' Adviser's consultation in October. Details to follow.
There have been over four hundred participants in all these consultations and we are grateful for every person who has contributed. These consultations are vital to the process of putting together our our ‘diocesan profile’ (known as the Statement of Needs) for the Crown Nominations Committee (CNC), the small group who will work together to discern the potential candidates for #Lichfield100.
But the CNC also want to hear from the people of Lichfield directly. Between 5 and 15 October, the Archbishops’ Secretary and the Prime Minister’s Secretary for Appointments will be meeting with a number of invited groups looking for answers to similar questions.
And everyone will have a chance to speak directly into the process of discernment. There will be an online meeting on the evening of 14 October, 6pm-7.30pm to which everyone is invited.
There will be more information on how to join on this page in the coming weeks
