‘John, who was 46, has been rector of Billy and Derrykeighan since June 2005.  Prior to that, he was curate assistant in Magherafelt, Armagh Diocese, from June 1998 until September 2002 and then the Parish of Ballymena and Ballyclug in September 2002 until his appointment to Billy and Derrykeighan.

Before ordination, John studied at Queen’s University Belfast, then Trinity College, Dublin, and the Church of Ireland Theological College.

The Bishop of Connor, the Rt Rev George Davison, paid tribute to John. “John Anderson’s death has come as a terrible shock to us all. Just as many people were beginning to believe that Covid was on the retreat, it has robbed us of one of the most likeable people,” Bishop George said. ‘  – Source: Diocese of Connor.
