Archdeacon Snow will work across the Sheffield and Rotherham archdeaconry which is made up of groups of parishes working together in units known as deaneries, and will work with clergy and congregations.

The Bishop of Sheffield, Dr Steven Croft, will take part in the service on Thursday, April 29, at 7.30pm at which he will also be welcomed by his fellow Archdeacon, The Venerable Bob Fitzharris, Archdeacon of Doncaster.

The new Archdeacon said his real interest is Christian mission. He is a trustee of the Church Mission Society. Dr Croft said: "I hope as many parishes as possible from the Archdeaconry will send representatives to this service."
