The new Bishop of Crediton will be the Venerable Moira Astin.
Her appointment was announced by Downing Street after her nomination was approved by the King.
Moira is currently the Archdeacon of Reigate in Southwark Diocese, a role she has held for nine years.
She said “I’m looking forward to getting to know the people and places of Devon. Our churches, whether in a village, new town, seaside resort or city centre, are still the heart of their communities and I look forward to praying with and encouraging them as they tell in word and action of God’s transforming love”
The Bishop of Crediton serves the whole of Devon, but has a particular care for North Devon, Mid Devon and East Devon.
Post expires on August 3rd, 2025
