Fr Andrew Burnham
Andrew Burnham was born in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, in 1948. He went to school at Southwell Minster Grammar School, where he was a boarder and a chorister in the cathedral choir. He went on to New College, Oxford, in 1966, where he read first music and then, intending to be ordained, theology. A collapse of faith and vocation sent him off to be a music teacher and, gradually, a freelance musician, mostly conducting choirs. His proudest achievement was to conduct a performance of the Verdi Requiem with local choirs, professional soloists and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Meanwhile he was Principal Conductor of the Nottingham Harmonic Society and Director of the Sinfonia Chorale, which sang a cappella and with the English Sinfonia.
After being unsuccessfully shortlisted for the post of Master of Music at Westminster Cathedral in 1978, his faith and vocation returned and, after further training at St Stephen’s House in Oxford, he was ordained deacon on 3rd July 1983, the feast of St Thomas, and ordained priest on 1st January 1984. Remaining in Nottingham he served curacies in Clifton and Beeston before becoming Vicar of Carrington in 1987. He was elected to the General Synod of the Church of England from 1990-2000 and to the Church of England Liturgical Commission from 1995-2000. He also served on the Anglican-Methodist Conversations at that time.
In 1995 he became Vice-Principal of St Stephen’s House, Oxford, teaching liturgy and mission and. in 2000, was appointed Bishop of Ebbsfleet and was consecrated bishop on 30th November 2000, St Andrew’s Day. The Bishop of Ebbsfleet is a suffragan of the Archbishop of Canterbury – Ebbsfleet is where St Augustine, having landed on the Isle of Thanet, first preached (597 AD) – and his responsibility was to serve as one of two Provincial Episcopal Visitors (PEVs) in the Province of Canterbury (there is a third in the Province of York). He resigned as Bishop with effect from 31st December 2010 and was received into the Catholic Church on 1st January 2011 in Westminster Cathedral, on the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. He was ordained deacon at Allen Hall Seminary on the feast of St Hilary, 13th January 2011, and priest at Westminster Cathedral on 15th January 2011
Andrew Burnham is married to Cathy. They have two grown up children and live just outside Oxford, at Dry Sandford in Abingdon.
