Here is a list of the Deans of the Pastoral Areas.
(Deans have been appointed by Bishop Peter and their role is not time-limited. People designated "Pastoral Area Links" were recommended by the Deans and clergy of each Area, and appointed by the Bishop on that basis, but their role in the Walking Humbly process was limited to the preparation of Area Groundplans and their initial implementation, until Easter 2011 ; that having now passed, their names have been removed, although some are serving in Area Pastoral Councils which are being established to continue the process.)
The Areas are listed approximately north-to-south.
