   A LEAVE of absence has been given to one of York Minster's most senior bosses - chapter steward Stephen Anderson.
   
   Mr Anderson was taken on for the ,60,000-a-year role last November - just over six months ago.
   ...
   When Mr Anderson was taken on, the job was considered so important, a headhunting agency was hired to find the most suitable candidate.

   The job was viewed as extremely demanding and involved overseeing the administration and co-ordination of every aspect of the cathedral's life, from fundraising to organising major events and services.
   
   Mr Anderson was born and brought up in North London, aged 52 and married with two children when he became chapter steward.
   
   He came from a financial background, having served as director of operations with Girobank from 1996 to 1997, and director of client services at the Save And Prosper Group from 1997 to 1999.
   
   In 2001, he was appointed to the board of directors of the troubled Equitable Life Assurance Society.
   
   For two years he served as chief operating officer as the society struggled to remain solvent after announcing it could not honour some of its pension pledges.
   
   At the time, the Minster was undergoing its own period of financial uncertainty, running up losses of half a million pounds a year.
   
   In 2003, church bosses admitted the public's trust in the Minster was "very, very low", and an admission charge was introduced in an attempt to steady the church's finances.
   
   The same year, Mr Anderson decided to leave Equitable Life and transfer to the not-for-profit sector.
   
   Before he joined the Minster, he stepped down as chief executive officer of a group of charities based in the City of London.
   
   He took over the chapter steward post from Brigadier Peter Lyddon, who retired after more than ten years.

   The Chapter have appointed Stephen Anderson as Chapter Steward of York Minster, in succession to Canon Peter Lyddon, who retires at the end of September.
   ...
   Mr Anderson will also become a member of Chapter and as such will be installed as a Canon under the terms of the Constitution of the Minster.
   
   Mr Anderson is 52, and is married with two children. He has had a successful career in finance, having served as Director of Operations with Girobank from 1996 to 1997 and Director of Client Services in the Save & Prosper Group from 1997 to 1999. From 2001 to 2003 he was Chief Operating Officer of The Equitable Life Assurance Society before he decided to transfer to the not-for-profit sector. He is currently Chief Executive Officer of a group of charities based at St Andrew Holborn in the City of London, giving them new business agenda and developing their operations.
   
   Mr Anderson is training for non-stipendiary ministry in the Church, and looks forward to worshipping at the Minster. He will take up his post at the beginning of October.
