The team that 'simply doesn't exist'

 Anyone interested in learning more about the scores of bureaucrats at Church House, Truro need go no further than this link https://trurodiocese.org.uk/contact-us/diocese-of-truro-contacts/

It's an astonishing and ever-growing list  - and very sadly extending as the Bishop of Truro, the Rt Rev Philip Mounstephen presses forward with his controversial On The Way plans to cut clergy and create a new model of worship in Cornwall - with lay workers overseen by 'Oversight Ministers'. This list also shows that the Bishop - experiencing a growing backlash against these plans - may have been less than scrupulous in presenting reliable facts in his public statements. It is striking in particular to see the 'Change and Renewal' team grow: this is the team that Mounstephen said, in his May 2022 Presidential Address to the Diocesan Synod, was a 'fanciful' suggestion cooked up by the press.  In fact there is now a new team, headed up by the Director of Change and Renewal, Ruth Marriott. This post was advertised with a salary of between £45,000 and £50,000.
