Andrew Peter Nunn, SCP (born 30 July 1957) is a Church of England priest. He has been the Dean of Southwark from 2012.[1]

Early life

Nunn was born on 30 July 1957 in Wigston Magna, Leicestershire. From 1975 to 1979, he studied public administration at Leicester Polytechnic, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA (Hons)) degree. He then worked for a year as a rent collector for the Housing Department of Wellingborough Borough Council in Northamptonshire.[2]

In 1980, he entered the College of the Resurrection, Mirfield, to train for ordination.[3] During this time, he also studied theology and religious studies at the University of Leeds and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1982.[3][2]

Ordained ministry

Nunn was ordained in the Church of England as a deacon in 1983 during a service at Ripon Cathedral.[2] He was ordained a priest in 1984.[3] Between 1983 and 1987, he served his curacy at St James the Great, Manston, Leeds.[2] He was then chaplain of Agnes Stewart Church of England High School[4] and curate then vicar at (All Saints') Richmond Hill.

From 1995 to 1999, Nunn was chaplain and personal assistant to Roy Williamson, Bishop of Southwark.[2] From 1999, he was a residentiary canon of Southwark Cathedral.[3] From 1999 to 2000, he was vice-provost and precentor.[2] In 2000, all primae inter pares of cathedral clergy became known as deans. Therefore, from 2000 to 2012, he was sub-dean and precentor at Southwark Cathedral.[3][2] On 21 January 2012, he was installed as Dean of Southwark.[5]

Since 2008, Nunn has been Rector General of the Society of Catholic Priests.[2] He is Chaplain General of the Company of Servers, an Anglican society for lay people that is connected to the Society of Catholic Priests.[6]

Nunn is an honorary chaplain of a number of livery companies of the City of London. Since 2000, he has been an honorary chaplain of the Launderers' Company.[2][7] He is also an honorary chaplain of the Innholders' Company, as well as a member of the Glaziers' Company.
