REVD TIM CLEMENT APPOINTED AS CANON OF ST WOOLOS

The Bishop of Monmouth, the Right Revd Dominic Walker OGS, has appointed new Canons to take up vacancies in the Chapter (governing body) of Newport Cathedral.   They are:

Revd Tim Clement, Vicar of Bettws Newydd, our Area Dean of Raglan and Usk, and Rural Life Adviser for the Diocese;

Revd Alan Tyler, Senior Healthcare Chaplain based at the Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport.

Revd Roger Hewett, Vicar of Blaina and Area Dean of Blaenau Gwent, as Honorary Canon of the Cathedral.

Canons were originally the 'monks' who were attached to a cathedral and led worship in the cathedral and the surrounding churches.   Today, most Canons live in their parishes but they have their own seat in the cathedral and, together with the Dean and Archdeacons, they form the governing body of the cathedral.   In the Diocese of Monmouth, there are ten Canons, all are senior priests who have normally held additional diocesan posts of responsibility.
