The Revd Canon Jerry Lepine
A sports-mad priest with a love of the cinema has been named as the new Dean of Bradford.
The Revd Canon Jerry Lepine is currently Rector of St Leonard’s, Nottingham.
The Bishop of Bradford, the Rt Revd Nick Baines, said: “We need someone to fill the gap left behind by Dr David Ison.
“At a time of challenge, he is a man who will spot opportunities. I look forward to welcoming Jerry and his wife Christine.”
He will be installed Sunday 14 July at 4pm in Bradford Cathedral.
