Parishes transfer deaneries, archdeaconries or dioceses • ABY nominates: • Acting Diocesan Bishop • Who will act as Area Bishops for the new Areas (+Knaresborough/Ripon; +Pontefract/Wakefield) • Acting Chancellor and Registrar • Acting Diocesan Secretary and Director of Education • Transitional Boards/Committees • Finance, Education, MandP, DAC, Patronage • 3 Offices remain as they are – minimum change – to ensure routine support to Parishes
