Revd. Canon David Sherwin

Records

In April 2015 the Revd. David Sherwin, Rector in the Worcestershire West Team Ministry and Rural Dean of Martley and Worcester West, was appointed Canon of the Cathedral, by
Bishop John who said, how it was a great delight to appoint David Sherwin, who has given and continues to give outstanding service to the church in the Diocese of Worcester. David will be a great ambassador for the cathedral in the diocese and vice versa.
Mr Sherwin said: "I'm honoured and delighted to have been appointed a Canon of the Cathedral. Although I've ministered in the Diocese for 15 years, it's not something that I'd anticipated and I wouldn't be in this position without the support of my family and other people in my parishes and beyond. It'll be great to be a part of the life of the cathedral and will look forward to being an ambassador both for my deanery in the cathedral and for the cathedral in my deanery."

Revd. Canon David Sherwin retired at the end of 2021 after 20 years as Team Rector and including 10 years as Rural Dean. He also trained 4 curates. His leaving service was held at St Peter's, Martley on 28th November, followed by refreshments at The Chantry.

We have a lot to thank God for as we move forwards but looking back, not just over 2021, but twenty years we give thanks for the ministry of Revd. Canon David Sherwin. As his time for retirement came we were able to celebrate and acknowledge our gratitude throughout the benefice, in a variety of ways, culminating in a service in Martley church, followed by a lunch, at the end of November – the final Sunday in our Christian liturgical year. From a personal perspective David was a great colleague, a pastoral mentor, and a real pleasure to work with. His relationships with people in the parishes both within the worshipping community and the wider area were filled with love, kindness, and most of all graciousness. He reflected his love of Christ to all those he met in their daily lives.
