We are delighted to welcome Liz to our clergy team!
Liz and her husband George joined our congregation in Salinas a year or so ago after buying a second home nearby, and she has now been granted Permission to Officiate within the Chaplaincy.
Liz has written a few paragraphs here to introduce herself to our congregations, friends and visitors to the website:
“I am the Rural Dean of Whalley in Lancashire, which encompasses the Ribble Valley & Hodder Valley and includes around 32 churches within the deanery. I have been the Vicar of St Peter’s in the village of Salesbury, Lancashire since 2021 following my curacy training in Preston, Lancashire. My parish is very much a community church with lots of Life Event ministries: baptisms, weddings and, owing to its extensive graveyard with views over Pendle Hill, funerals. We work closely with the church school and the committed choir enable us to offer a variety of traditional and contemporary worship.
“I feel very blessed to be ministering here as my parish and deanery are nestled in areas of outstanding natural beauty, rich in farming life and fascinating history.
“I am born and raised in Lancashire and except for some years in Birmingham as a student, I’ve spent my time in the hills and valleys of North West England. A beautiful place when the sun shines, but damp and cold when it’s cloudy, which happens a lot! So drawn by the warmth of the Spanish sun, my husband, George, and I have made a second home near the town of Salinas in Malaga province. Soon after moving in, we were delighted to find an Anglican Congregation who have welcomed us in over the past 12 months.
“We love spending time in southern Spain, appreciating its unique culture and lifestyle, which is of course enhanced by the wonderful climate. I hope to meet you all soon as I take up my role as PTO”.
