On joining All Saints Church in Sherburn-in-Elmet the call to ministry, which she says she had been denying for many years, finally emerged.
She said: “I trained at St Hild College, Mirfield which has been a wonderfully affirming experience; I have been supported throughout by tutors and fellow students alike and have treasured the time I have spent there.
“I would like to re-engage with my pub ministry and with people in the industrial estate. I am currently learning the role of Rural Chaplain.”
