After the unexpected death of our Bishop, David, the Cusworth community were missing a church leader to pick up the day-to-day duties that fell on the shoulders of Abba David for so many years. Due to providence and the foresight of Abba David a successor was in training and was in the process of advancing from Sub-Deacon to Deacon with the expectation to become Priest later after more tutorage from Abba David.
