John Martin Sebastian Williams (born January 20, 1947) is the Xth Lord Archbishop of Sulthey and the senior-most bishop of the Church of Nortend. Williams was enthroned as Archbishop on August 30, 2001, and incardinated to Allhallows Grenham, Lendert-with-Cadell on the next day, August 31.

Early life and education

Williams was born in Cudstow, Southannering, first and only child of the Rev'd Christopher Williams, Rector of St James's, Cudstow. He was sent to Norsten Preparatory School and then took a scholarship to Allord College. He matriculated at Cholestave College as an Old Dominostrian at the University of Aldesey where he took a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts.

Having been ordained as deacon in 1969 upon receiving the licentia docendi, Williams began reading for his Bachelor of Divinity. He incepted as Master of Arts in 1971 and graduated as Bachelor of Divinity later that year.

Ministry

Williams was ordained a priest upon graduating with a Bachelor of Divinity in 1972 by the then Archbishop of Sulthey, Bernard Alseer, and was presented by a school friend, Sir Andrew Wegg, to the lucrative benefice of Racham Fuller in Durmenshire, worth £630 per annum, becoming Vicar thereof in 1973. In 1976, he married Susan Hartle. Williams was also appointed the dean forane for the Hundred of Huntspot in 1982.

His duties at Racham Fuller were light, and he busied himself in academic pursuits, eventually in 1986 receiving his Doctorate of Divinity from the University of Aldesey. In 1988, he was elected, consecrated and installed as the Bishop of Laveshot, the bishopric coadjutor in the Diocese of Polton. Upon the death of Bishop Fullengar, he automatically succeeded as Lord Bishop of Polton from 1992. He was created a cardinal in 1995, being incardinated to St Endrith in Lendert-with-Cadell.
