The Ministry Staff | |
Vicar:
| Revd Howard Flint
Howard was ordained in 1997 after initially training as a Secondary School Teacher, specialising in Physical Education and English. After a fifteen-year career at schools in Lancashire, Sussex and Surrey, he trained for ordination at Cranmer Hall in Durham. Howard was appointed vicar at Christ Church in September 2006 after working in the dioceses of Gloucester and Leicester. His work has grown especially in the areas of ministry in school, running Alpha courses, and with people who have questions about faith but have little experience of 'church' |
| Reader: | Alison Lovelock
Alison has been trained in the office of Reader and has duties of primarily leading worship and preaching – with additional opportunities of funeral and other pastoral work as they arise |
