Bishop of Leeds is new Catholic Education Chair

Following elections held at the Spring Plenary Assembly of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales (CBCEW), Bishop Marcus Stock was elected Chair of the Department of Education and Formation and as Chair of the Catholic Education Service.

Taking over the role from Archbishop Malcolm McMahon, who is now Vice-President of the CBCEW, this now makes Bishop Marcus the lead bishop in England and Wales on matters concerning Catholic Education for the next five years.

Bishop Marcus, an educationalist and former teacher, is author of Christ at the Centre (CTS, 2012): a definitive work on why the Catholic Church provides schools and what constitutes their Catholic ethos.
