Archbishop of York meets the new Bishop of Whitby at Middlesbrough College
Monday 02 November 2009
The Reverend Canon Martin Clive Warner MA, PhD, Canon Treasurer of St Paul's Cathedral, has been appointed by the Queen as the Suffragan Bishop of Whitby, in succession to the Rt Revd Robert Ladds.
The Archbishop of York and The Reverend Canon Martin Clive Warner - The new Bishop of Whitby
Canon Warner said, "I am excited and awed at the prospect of moving to Teesside to be the Bishop of Whitby. I look forward to being part of the Archbishop's team in the Diocese of York, and to working with men and women of this Archdeaconry.
"It was as a student in Durham 30 years ago that I first discovered this to be one of the most varied and beautiful parts of Britain. It has everything - stunning countryside, a spectacular coastline and the potential and challenge of a stimulating conurbation on Teesside."
"It is good to be in Middlesbrough College for the announcement of this appointment. I hope it makes a clear statement about the priority I would want the Church to attach to young people. They deserve our respect and attention at a time when planning a future life is fraught with uncertainty."
"In the end our message is profound but simple: "it's all about God". Faith in God is, we believe, the key to human dignity, respect for creation, and the reality of the resurrection."
The Archbishop of York, the Most Revd Dr John Sentamu said, "I am delighted that Canon Warner has been appointed the new Bishop of Whitby. He is a man of great faith and integrity who has a real heart for serving the community. I am sure that his passion for helping others will shine through during his time on Teeside. He will be joining a team committed together to make Christ visible."
The Reverend Canon Warner (aged 50) was Assistant Curate at St Peter's, Plymouth from 1984 to 1988. From 1988 to 1993 he was Team Vicar of the Parish of the Resurrection, Leicester. Canon Warner was the Administrator of the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham from 1993 to 2002, and also Priest in Charge of Hempton with Pudding Norton from 1998 to 2000. In 2000 he was made an Honorary Canon of Norwich Cathedral. From 2002 to 2003 he was Associate Vicar at St Andrew's, Holborn, and was appointed as a Residential Canon of St Paul's Cathedral in 2003.
Canon Warner has wide cultural interests, including architecture, medieval, renaissance, and contemporary art, and the cinema. He enjoys travel and had led pilgrimages in Europe and the Holy Land. The Consecration will be held at 11 am on 26 January 2010, the Feast of St Timothy and St Titus, at York Minster
