Hockworthy Fete
Large numbers of people turned out to enjoy Hockworthy Fete in the grounds of Hockworth House. The weather stayed fine as people wandered around the stalls and sampled a cream tea. It was a very happy occasion.
NEW BISHOP OF EXETER
The following announcement was made by Bishop Jackie on June 4th 2024.
The Diocese of Exeter is pleased to announce that Rt Rev’d Dr Mike Harrison has been appointed by King Charles to be the 72nd Bishop of Exeter. Bishop Mike will be installed as Bishop of Exeter in a service at Exeter Cathedral in the autumn. Date to be confirmed. We are delighted with this news and look forward to welcoming Bishop Mike and his family to Devon.
He was ordained in 1990 after discerning a call to ordination following a Mathematics degree at Cambridge University. For the past eight years he has served as a suffragan bishop in Suffolk, while previously he was Director of Mission and Ministry for Leicester Diocese and before that served in inner-city and urban parishes in London.
He said “I have long-standing connections with Devon – we used to holiday in North Devon every year as a child, I courted my future wife in Exeter when she was a student at St Loyes College, and I discerned a vocation to the ordained ministry while worshipping at Exeter Cathedral and a local church. Rachel and I love living by the coast, and so we are really looking forward to walking and cycling the beautiful coastlines of Devon - north and south. “As Bishop for the whole of Devon, I am looking forward to providing oversight, pastoral care, prayer, fellowship, and partnership in the gospel across the whole breadth of the diocese. We are a broad church with a diversity of traditions and views, and I am committed to working together and being united in our shared mission to grow in prayer, make new disciples and serve the people of Devon with joy.”

Growing in Prayer Prayer is a life-giving activity that opens up deep places within us to God’s transforming grace. Growing in prayer is essential if we are to become the people and the Church God calls us to be.Making new disciplesAs the Christian story is less and less known, we must find new ways of telling the story, of explaining the faith and giving a reason for the hope that is in us. With Jesus Christ as our companion and guide we can travel through life differently.Serving the people of Devon with joyAs followers of Jesus Christ, we want to make a difference in the world and make God’s love and justice known. In our church life we seek to be local, participatory and outward looking.
