Announcing Tracey’s appointment to the Chapter of St Anne’s Cathedral last October, the Bishop of Connor, the Rt Rev George Davison said it was recognition of the commitment she had demonstrated to the life and witness of the Church in Mid Belfast.
“As well as her own parish commitments, she has worked tirelessly to provide oversight to a significant number of other churches in the Rural Deanery,” Bishop George stated. “I also recognise the significant contribution she has made towards ecumenical and community relationships in that part of Belfast.”
Dean Stephen Forde also welcomed the announcement last October, saying: “With her commitment to cross community ministry, and her work as a faithful pastor and visionary leader in the Mid and Upper Shankill areas, Tracey will bring her wide experience to enhance the Chapter of the Cathedral.”
