I once heard a theologian say “a church is not defined by its edges but by its centre. It is like a farm with
no fence where all are welcome”. I pray that our churches will conHnue to be places like this, where
people will be welcomed to come, share, and eat with us. Where we will rejoice with those who come,
and seek to understand, to walk alongside and ask what we can do for those who are not yet familiar with
the one whom we love and serve. I pray that we will be faithful and really listen, so that we can hear the
things that God is concerned about within our communiHes. I was asked recently what is my favourite
bible text; what is the one you would always want to take with you? My answer would be the one that
talks about loving God and loving your neighbour (Mark 12:30-31). I think these are the most important
things we need to do to fulfil our calling to the Kingdom of God.
So we are really looking forward to exploring what God is doing amongst you as vibrant, caring and
outward looking communiHes at the heart of the villages you serve. As I write this it looks like we will be
moving someHme in October and my Licensing will take place in November (date to be confirmed).
As a family we are familiar with the beauHful country villages of the Wellsprings benefice, and are looking
forward to being immersed within your rural communiHes and to share in the life of all the villages. Stu
does have a previous link to Po?erne, Devizes and the surrounding villages. His Grandfather built and
installed the organ lo[ in St. Mary’s in 1937. His other set of Grandparents owned the local shop and
bakery in Po?erne. It will feel like a bit of a homecoming for him. I’m looking forward to meeHng you all
and to listening and discerning the exciHng plans that God has for us as we develop our ministry within
the benefice together. If you see me out and about do come and say hello and introduce yourself. I will
probably be walking my Golden retriever dog called Gracie, she is very friendly and loves meeHng people
too!
A li?le bit more about me and my family..I am currently working for three churches in Salisbury within the
Bemerton Parish. We are very blessed to have three extraordinary daughters (Emily, Beth and Hannah),
two wonderful son-in laws (Dave and Ben), and two amazing li?le grandchildren (Freddie and Jemimah).
Prior to serving my curacy and ordinaHon training, I had a career with the MoD and worked in a variety of
roles. I worked in scienHfic research, before moving into business development and markeHng, human
resources, educaHon outreach and learning and development. When I am not working I love to cook and
spend Hme with family and friends. I like to walk and cycle in beauHful countryside. I like camping, body
boarding, table tennis, musical theatre, canoeing and standing under wonderful waterfalls. I love to read
and set up a book group a few years ago, which is sHll running. I parHcularly love to read books about
spirituality, scripture, culture, mental health, theology and community. .

For the July meeting we decided to go to Heale Gardens in the Woodford Valley near
Salisbury. We were very lucky with the
weather following the fantastic thunderstorms
of the early hours. It was lovely and warm,
although overcast.
bridges
to cross, a Japanese garden with a tea house
provided a scenic backdrop. There are only 2
full time gardeners!
The house, which we were not able to go into,
dates from 1542 with a later Victorian addition in
the same style.
