A number of years ago I became the Mission & Unity Coordinator and the Ecumenical Officer for the Churches Together in Sussex and I was delighted to meet Alastair Cutting. He was the Vicar of Copthorne initially and then from 2010 he was the Vicar of Henfield. A few years later in 2013 he left Sussex and moved to became the Archdeacon of Lewisham & Greenwich in the Dioceses of Southwark and I had the opportunity to meet him on many times. He was also connected to a colleague who is Simon Gates who is the Archdeacon of Lambeth. Simon was based in Crosby at the same time as me which was from 1960 to 1978 when I moved to Sussex. In the last few months it was very sad that the Bishop of Woolwich who was Karowei Dorgu who died back in September. However I am delighted that Alastair is now the new Bishop of Woolwich which is very significant. His details can be seen here on the website from the Diocese of Southwark which is very nice.
