Lister Tonge, AKC (born 23 December 1951) is a British Anglican priest. He has been Dean of Monmouth since 2012.[1]
Early life and education
Tonge was born on 23 December 1951 in Oldham, Lancashire, England.[2] He was educated at Heywood Grammar School, Salford Grammar School, King's College London and Loyola University Chicago.[3]. He is the only child of Edward Tonge and Dorothy Tonge (née Clough).
Ordained ministry
Tonge was ordained in 1976.[4] After a curacy at Liverpool Parish Church he was Precentor of Johannesburg Cathedral from 1978 to 1979. From then until 1991 he was at the Community of the Resurrection. He was then Chaplain to the Chaplain to the Community of St John the Baptist until his appointment as Dean.
He, alongside Archdeacons Jonathan Williams and Ambrose Mason, raised grievances against the Bishop of Monmouth Richard Pain. Despite an investigation clearing the bishop, the three men remained unsatisfied and went to mediation. They later discontinued it. Bishop Pain retired on ill health. [5] [6] [7]
