Updated May 2026
We relaunched the advertisement in the spring of 2026, and some interest has been shown. The church council looked again at the church accounts, and confirmed that we can only offer a half-time stipend, equivalent to four full days per week (3 sessions per day, ie morning, afternoon, evening).
Meanwhile, we are delighted that the Reverend Elisabeth Dean is continuing to lead our services of Holy Communion, and that we have fully trained Congregational Worship Leaders to support worship at Morning Prayer on the 1st Sunday in the month.
During July and August, we look forward to welcoming Rev’d Gary Wilton, while Rev’d Elisabeth takes a well-earned break.
The search for a new chaplain continues, we hope to have more news soon.
If you have any questions, please speak to a member of the church council.

Notes:
- ICS (the Intercontinental Church Society) is the church patron. This means that they have a role to play in the appointment of a new chaplain. They will be involved in later stages of the recruitment, and will present the chosen candidate to the Bishop (who can accept or refuse) but Archdeacon Peter Hooper will be managing the preparations, using his wide experience over the last few years.
- Time will be taken to find the right person for the post.
