The Queen has given her approval for Rt Revd Andrew Watson to become the Bishop of Guildford.
The 53 year old will move from his current position as Bishop of Aston in the Diocese of Birmingham.
Speaking about the move he said: “There will be future opportunities to thank everyone – but our six years in Birmingham have been wonderful.
“We’ve hugely appreciated the warmth and generosity of so many people across the Diocese, the rich multi-cultural nature of so many of our congregations (a real taste of heaven on earth on occasions), the quality of so much of the discipleship we’ve encountered, and the privilege of working with such able and supportive colleagues.”
