I spent many years working both part and full time as a Virger at Blackburn Cathedral – where I felt God had placed me. Following a chance conversation, I was led to question the role of Deacons outside of liturgy: the rest, you may say, is history and I was ordained July 2023 at Blackburn Cathedral. Previously I worked for the Methodist Home Association as Chaplain before moving to full time NHS Hospital Chaplain and handler of the Trust’s therapy dog. I am passionate about raising the awareness of the calling of Distinctive Deacon.
