The Very Rev Dr Emsley Nimmo is to be made a Honorary Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, Hartford, Connecticut.  St Andrew’s Cathedral in Aberdeen and Christ Church Cathedral in Hartford each has a honorary canon from the other’s diocese in a reciprocal arrangement between the two twinned dioceses that goes back many years.

This will take place on 18 February in Hartford when the new Dean of Christ Church will be installed. The Provost of Aberdeen Cathedral, The Very Rev Isaac Poobalan, will also be present and will read a message of goodwill from the Rt Rev Dr Bob Gillies, Bishop of Aberdeen & Orkney.
