Vacancy-in-see committee
These are the people who will be meeting to decide what kind of person our diocese would like as its new bishop. Some of them will also serve on the Crown Nominations Commission, which will interview candidates and choose which names will be submitted to Downing Street for consideration. To contact them, please email: vacancyinsee(at)portsmouth.anglican.org
