With great thanks and good wishes, two Bishops, Hallam Diocese Trustees and friends celebrated with Sheila Parden as she retired from 37 years of service to the Diocese. In fact, Sheila has worked with 3 Bishops! From an initial post working in the Chancery, at the time of Bishop Gerard Moverly, she then worked in an administrative role with Bishop John Rawsthorne and then Bishop Ralph Heskett. At the same time she raised a family of 5 children. Her management and organisational skills were doubtless helpful in both roles. Bishop John joined Bishop Ralph to wish her well, personally and on behalf of the whole diocese.
