Please join us in congratulating the Reverend Theo Robinson on his new appointment as Regional Dean for Mid-Island.

A note from the Bishop on Appointments:

The feedback from the clergy is that they miss having a colleague who convenes them for pastoral support and community building. The clergy also had suggestions as to which of their colleagues could serve in this role. As such, I am pleased to announce that:  

  • The Rev. Kirsten Evenden has been appointed regional dean for the North Island.  
  • The Rev. Theo Robinson has been appointed regional dean for the Mid-Island. 
  • The Rev. Christine Conkin has been appointed regional dean for the South Island.  

Regional deans will convene regular meetings of clergy but will not have a governance role and it will continue to be the archdeacon who convenes the regional meeting and who, as needed, is the bishop’s representative in the region.
