The process of finding a new Bishop of Sodor and Mann is well underway, but it's likely to be next summer before we see an appointment.
The last bishop, Graeme Knowles, left the Island last month to take up his new role as Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in London.
The Archdeacon of the Isle of Man, the Venerable Brian Smith, says moves to replace Bishop Knowles started at virtually the same time as it was announced he would be leaving:
Reopening of Martin Ward delayed following further safety checks
Further environmental concerns identified during checks, extending temporary closure beyond initial four-week estimate
Major reservoir projects completed on time and on budget
Manx Utilities gives update on Cringle and Clypse projects
Repair scheme an 'antidote to throwaway culture'
ECAS launches initiative to upcycle unwanted items
Douglas council seeking sites for future housing development
Plans for 'major investment in new, energy-efficient homes'
