Mthr Tina has been our curate since the summer of 2021, when she was ordained deacon, and we had the joy of celebrating her ordination to the priesthood in June 2022.
Reflecting on her first year with us, Tina writes,
It has been a year of finding the kindness of Jesus to be constantly alongside me, in gentle grace, in great beauty, and in the quiet rhythms of a worshipping community. I have been entrusted with stories of happy hearts and breaking hearts, there have been days of sunshine, and days of grey skies. In the midst of everything my prayer has been for Jesus to meet me in the ordinary, and make my heart His home.
For the future, I continue to seek the movement of God’s Spirit in real situational terms, trusting in who God is, what He has done and what He will do. There was a time when ‘my foot was slipping, but the unfailing love of God saved me.’
