The Diocesan Council, meeting today for the first time following the election of Archdeacon David McClay as Bishop of Down and Dromore, warmly congratulates David on his appointment. David is well known and respected throughout the united dioceses as a leader of strong conviction and vision, and also of tremendous compassion and generosity.
