The Rev. CJ Adams to Leave Diocese of Moosonee

Tuesday, 03 May 2011 13:32

It is with regret that Bishop Corston has accepted the resignation of The Rev. CJ Adams. CJ has accepted the appointment of Bishop Linda Nicholls, Suffragan Bishop of Toronto, to be Incumbent of St. George's Church, Pickering Village, Ontario, Diocese of Toronto. CJ's last day as Rector of Cochrane and Kapuskasing will be June 30th.

Bishop Corston shares our sadness at the impending departure of the Adams family. Their involvement in the life of both the parishes and the Diocese will be difficult to replace. At the same time, he feels that this appointment speaks well of CJ's ministry and leadership. We extend to her our best wishes and the assurances of our prayers as she and the girls make arrangements to move and as they take up these new responsibilities.
