Welcoming the new Dean of Chelmsford

“It’s wonderful to be coming to the Diocese and to the Cathedral as the new year begins.

I’m filled with excitement at the prospect of coming to be part of the Cathedral community in Chelmsford.  I hope too to play a focussed and enthusiastic part in serving the city, county and wider diocese. These are rich and diverse overlapping communities and I am very eager to find how I may serve them. I look forward to becoming part of the steady foundation of prayer, praise and worship that the Cathedral represents and maintains, and to all that grows out from that in Christian service."

The Very Revd Dr Jessica Martin
