Reflection from the Reverend Rob Sutherland CSC 14 June 2026

Dear Parishioners,

Last night Bishop Roundhill announced to Parish Council that I am leaving St Michaels in August.

This announcement was inaccurate, premature and inappropriate in the manner in which it was delivered and for that I sincerely apologise.

I have been in discussion with Archbishop Jeremy about my leaving and a meeting with him in July had been arranged to discuss this. He has also sent me a letter (received on Monday) outlining earliest possible dates (and technical details provided by diocesan staff of leave and Long Service Leave) and offering to discuss this. I had intended, health permitting, a date possibly after Christmas but Bishop Roundhill’s announcement now says that I am leaving in August.

If you feel betrayed, angry, disappointed, let down or abandoned by me in this process I understand. I had been trying to do what the Archbishop’s letter asked.

I had repeatedly asked Bishop Roundhill not to use his meeting last night to make an announcement but he decided to do so.

An exact date for my leaving and future arrangements are to be worked out by Bishop Roundhill and I will let everyone know as soon as I know. Please at this time continue to care for and support each other.

This Sunday’s readings include God’s promise of good plans for us, plans to give us ‘a future with hope.’ I’m trying hard to see how this fits into a sermon for us all.

Please be assured, I have loved being part of this wonderful, faithful, loving community. Grace and peace and hope

ROB
