| As
Bishop of Beverley, two primary tasks are entrusted to me. I am to
be a spokesperson for all those in the Northern Province opposed to
the ordination of women to the priesthood, monitoring their treatment
and speaking out, as necessary, on their behalf. Additionally, a number
of parishes have petitioned their diocesan bishop to receive from
me extended episcopal care. In practice, this means that, as required,
I ordain clergy for such parishes and celebrate confirmation in them.
I seek to pastor both clergy and people, helping to build the parishes
up in the mission to which God has called them. At present, there
are some eighty parishes in my care and you can find a list of them
elsewhere on this site.
There is a danger that Anglicans of my persuasion can be seen as those just against something. On the contrary, we are for the Universal Faith of the Church and seek to recall folk to the Church's undivided teaching. We include within our ranks Anglo-Catholics and Evangelicals as well as many who would not naturally use either of these labels. Thank you visiting this website. I hope you may glean useful information from it. May you be richly blessed. †Martyn Beverley
