Our Ministers
Please see the 'CONTACT US' page for details of how to get hold of us!
Our Team is led by the Team Rector, the Rev'd Tom Kennar (who is mainly based, for worship, at St Mark's Church)
Before becoming a priest in 2006, Tom had a background in the performing arts, voluntary sector management (in the YMCA) and government policy- making.
Tom is passionate about good quality worship and community-building.
Visit Tom's personal website at www.tomkennar.com where it is possible to read recent sermons.
St Nicholas' church (and Ethos) is led by one of our two Team Vicars, the Rev'd Bev Robertson
Before becoming a priest, Bev had a background in business management. She is a qualified 'neuro-linguistic programmer', and passionate about finding new ways to connect to the Divine.
St Francis' church is currently seeking a new team vicar, and being looked after in the meantime by the Team Rector, Tom Kennar. For any enquiries relating to St Francis, please contact Tom, or the parsh office via the 'Contact Us' page.
The Rev'd Canon Joseph Bain-Doodu is our Associate Priest.
Joseph is studying Canon Law (which is, essentially, the laws of the church). He is passionate about building relationships across different cultures.
Our Parish also benefits from the services of two retired priests, Linda Denness and Margaret Freeman. We are also blessed by the ministry of two Licensed Lay Ministers (known in other parts of the Anglican church as 'Readers'); namely Miss Doris Bealing and Mr Jeff Harvey. Doris supports the rest of the team by preaching, leading worship, running the 'Bible is Fun' club at a local school, and leading the Parish Julian Group (see St Francis' Programmes for more information). Jeff is attached to the local Hospital Chaplaincy Team, preaches at some of our services, and helps out in other areas of our parish life, including pastoral visiting, teaching and chaplaincy.
