Bishop William Cliff is pleased to appoint The Venerable Blair Peever as Archdeacon of Kingston (which consists of the Deanery of Frontenac) on the retirement of The Venerable Bill Clarke, effective August 1.

The current Archdeacons in the diocese remain: The Ven.Jane Humphreys, Executive Officer; The Ven. Nancy Northgrave, Archdeacon for Rural Ministry and Training; The Ven. Wayne Varley, Archdeacon of Programs and Ministry; The Ven. Bram Pearce, Archdeacon of Ontario. Blair along with the Dean of the Cathedral, The Very Rev.

Rev. Canon Wanda Lynn Dillabough has submitted her resignation from the incumbency of the Parish of Christ Church Kingston, in order to move into retirement effective October 15, 2025. Her last Sunday in the Parish will be September 28, 2025.

Lynn relocated to Brockville from the Diocese of Quebec in the summer of 2016, assuming the incumbency of St. Paul's, Brockville. During her time there she served as Regional Dean of Leeds-Grenville Deanery. In 2022 she moved to Kingston, assuming the incumbency at Christ Church. Christian formation and education for people of all ages, as well as the encouragement of lay ministry, has been a particular passion for Lynn and this continues with her current Doctor of Ministry studies which she is completing at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.

The Bishop expresses his gratitude for Lynn's ministry and wishes her well in retirement. Please hold the Parish and their leadership in your prayers as they move into this time of transition and for Lynn as she opens this new chapter in her life.
