The Bishop of Monmouth, Rt Revd Dominic Walker OGS, has announced the appointment of Ms Stella Schultz, currently Diocesan Secretary of the Diocese of Bangor, as Diocesan Secretary for the Diocese of Monmouth. She is expected to take up her new appointment in late April and succeeds Mr Richard Tarran who is retiring.
Stella was born in Newport and is a graduate (BSc Hons) of the London School of Economics. Prior to her appointment as Diocesan Secretary in Bangor in 1999, she was Head of Information Management for the Countryside Council of Wales and is trained in IT, systems and business analysis and financial management and control. As someone who is already a Diocesan Secretary, she has a wide knowledge of the Church in Wales, charity law and the challenges and opportunities for the Church today. She is a Welsh speaker.
The Bishop says: “Stella feels a strong sense of vocation as a Diocesan Secretary and I shall look forward to welcoming her as a member of my staff team and to her contribution in serving the ministry and mission of the diocese.”
Stella says: “I am delighted to have been offered the post of Diocesan Secretary in Monmouth, and very much look forward to joining the Diocesan team.”
The Diocesan Secretary is the chief administration and finance officer of the diocese.
