I was sorry to learn this week of the death of the former Bishop of Ely, The Rt Revd Dr Anthony Russell.
Dr Russell served Ely Diocese from 2000 to 2010, as well as making a notable contribution to the national church's thinking about rural ministry.
We give thanks for his ministry and service among us, and commend him to God's love.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Sheila and the whole family.
