Diocese of Truro publishes 2025 budget draft - no rise planned in clergy numbers
The Diocese of Truro has published the draft of its 2025 budget. There is no planned rise in the critically low number of clergy in Cornwall, promised by the acting Bishop of Truro, the Rt Rev Hugh Nelson. The figures will disappoint those who are hoping for more clergy provision: just one example comes from the Parochial Church Council (PCC) of King Charles Church, Falmouth, which has written to Bishop Hugh with a plea for action. They simply cannot find clergy to take services, they say. The papers listed below will be discussed at the next Diocesan Synod on Saturday 23 November 2024. 2025 Diocesan Budget Appendix 1 - budget summary Appendix 2 - 2025 changes compared with 2024 budget Appendix 3 Bishop's Diocesan Council report to 2024 Synod
