Along with Rev Richard Teal (Chair of Cumbria Methodist District) Revd. Rachel Poolman was installed as an Honorary Ecumenical Canon of Carlisle Cathedral on Sunday Dec 5.
The Bishop of Carlisle, Rt Rev James Newcome, greeted the appointments as another sign of the commitment of the three denominations (Anglican, Methodist and United Reformed Church) to work together to make Cumbria an ecumenical county.
