In September 2023 Adam Atkinson was appointed Bishop of Bradwell and took up his role later that year.
He had previously been Archdeacon of Charing Cross in the Diocese of London.
It was to Bradwell and Essex that the great missionary disciple St Cedd brought the Good News of Jesus Christ in AD 654. The title Bishop of Bradwell and the Bishop of Bradwell’s Area are named in honour of Cedd’s epic mission to a people who had never before heard the Good News.
Steven Poss was commissioned as Chaplain of St Peters Chapel at the Easter Dawn service on 21st April 2019 by Bishop John, Bishop of Bradwell with these words:
We have come together in the presence of God, to welcome Steven to this Chapel, to commission him to this ministry, to pray for Steven and for those who minister with him, and to dedicate ourselves afresh to the service of God in this place and to the call which God makes of each one of us…..
God our Father, Lord of all the world, through your Son you have called us into the fellowship of your universal Church: hear our prayer for your faithful people, that in their vocation and ministry, each may be an instrument of your love, and give to your servant Steven now to be commissioned, the needful gifts of grace; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
All Amen.
