The process of finding a new Bishop of Sodor and Mann is well underway, but it's likely to be next summer before we see an appointment.
The last bishop, Graeme Knowles, left the Island last month to take up his new role as Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in London.
The Archdeacon of the Isle of Man, the Venerable Brian Smith, says moves to replace Bishop Knowles started at virtually the same time as it was announced he would be leaving:
Plans submitted for 'significant' flood defences in Ramsey
Include installing a four-foot flood wall at West Quay
Tributes paid to cancer awareness campaigner
Sarah Jarvis has died at the age of 60
Police bail for two people arrested in Ramsey incident
One person was treated for injuries that were described as non-life-threatening
WCAS to extend opening hours next month
It's thanked patrons for their patience during 'very difficult times'
Government support for two 'long-stalled' Douglas developments
Former Newson's building and Duke Street site offered assistance through Island Infrastructure Scheme
