New Provost for St Mary’s Cathedral, Edinburgh

June 23, 2017

The Bishop of Edinburgh, the Rt Rev Dr John Armes, has appointed the Rev John Conway as the new Provost of St Mary’s Cathedral in Edinburgh. John Conway has been the Rector of St Martin of Tours, Gorgie/Dalry in Edinburgh since 2001 and will take up his new role as Provost in September.
Commenting on his appointment, John Conway said “The Cathedral, with its prominent location in the centre of Edinburgh, its wonderful liturgies and excellent music, and its wider role in the life of our cosmopolitan city, is a central focus of our Diocese and our common mission to respond in faith to God. Working with the Bishop and the Cathedral team I relish the opportunity to build on and develop those roles.

“The Cathedral is also the spiritual home of a flourishing congregation, faithful members mingling with the curious who are maybe simply passing through. Some of the members of the Cathedral may have been around long enough to remember me from my time as Cathedral Chaplain. I look forward to seeing and serving them again, as I get to know the whole congregation, and help us live out our calling to serve our city and our Diocese.”
