The Bishop's Office is staffed
by a full time Personal Assistant, Julie Milne and his secretary, Joyce
Hunt. Julie supports the Bishop in the day-to-day work of running the
office, dealing with correspondence, organising his diary, responding
to queries, welcoming visitors and holding the fort when he is away from
his office, in the Diocese or elsewhere.
The Church of England is there to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ,
the Son of God. It is the Bishop's job to lead the Diocese of Hereford
in proclaiming this message, and in ministering to all who live within
the Diocese. He is also very much involved in the life of the community,
in Education, Agriculture and Industry and in working in the Voluntary
and Statutory Agencies.
