New Clerical Honorary Secretary Announced for Dublin
The Revd David White, Rector of Zion Parish in Rathgar, has been elected as Clerical Honorary Secretary for the Diocese of Dublin.
The election took place following a special Dublin Diocesan Synod which was held online on Friday March 27 2026. Voting was open to Dublin clerical members of Synod and votes were cast by postal ballot which closed on Monday evening last, April 20.
David was elected to fill the vacancy which arose as a result of the retirement of the Revd John Tanner, formerly Rector of Tullow. The Honorary Secretaries serve on both Diocesan Synods and Diocesan Councils.
Declaring the result of the election, the Archbishop of Dublin, Archbishop Michael Jackson said: “We wish the Revd David White well in the work ahead”.
