Fr Ed Tomlinson Announces His Intention to Resign from the C of E to Join Ordinariate

After consultation with the Bishop of Rochester, and with his blessing, I can now publically announce that it is my intention to resign as vicar of Saint Barnabas in Tunbridge Wells on Palm Sunday and to cease public Anglican ministry from Ash Wednesday.

I will then undertake a period of preparation to enter the Roman Catholic Church as a member of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham alongside my family and the majority of my current parishioners.

Your prayers are encouraged at this time.

Fr. Ed Tomlinson

One of the commenter from Rorate says "We rob them of their faithful and in return they relieve us of our malcontents"
