The death has occurred of Kenneth Wilkinson, former Archdeacon of Ferns. Bishop Michael Burrows, extending his sympathy to the Wilkinson family, pays this tribute to the former Archdeacon:
His death marks the end of an era in the diocese of Ferns. Although retired for nearly twenty years his colleagues continued to regard him as epitomising all that is best in parochial and pastoral ministry in the Church of Ireland. His long incumbency in Enniscorthy touched the lives of many who were enriched by his care, wisdom and dignified conduct of the liturgy. As archdeacon he was a superb chair, going to the heart of matters, avoiding any time wasting and contributing hugely to the efficiency of Diocesan administration. His was a ministry characterized by diligence, courtesy, good humour and a genuine holiness.
