I was confirmed at Holy Trinity, Barkingside but my spiritual development was deepened by “70 for the 70s”. At university I (re)met and married Ian. We spent 10 years in the Democratic Republic of Congo with CMS. I completed my Reader’s training in the diocese of Southwell and preached for CMS in the dioceses of Derby and Leicester. I support first year mathematicians at the University of Nottingham. Contact Sally

"I am a designer/craftsman in precious metals by training and have spent over 25 years in full-time education. I was until recently a university lecturer in an art and design department and have now returned once again to the freelance life. My Christian journey began with a love of religious art in my college days and art as a vehicle of spiritual understanding still remains important to my ministry. The rest as they say, is history....."Contact Mark
