When Archbishop-elect Ric and Louie Thorpe speak about this new season of ministry, there is a sense of gentle excitement. They reflect on beginning this new season of ministry together, expressing joy about what God has planned and recognising this moment marks a fresh start not only for them as a couple but for the whole diocese.
For the Thorpes, this next chapter is an adventure with God, shaped by the diocese’s prayerful support.
Their hope is simple: that people will leave the Archbishop installation service encouraged, excited, and filled with a renewed sense of what God might do next.
