On 13th June Bishop Richard licensed Fran Brealey as our Associate Minister in a service at Holy Trinity, Hope. The service was attended by people from across the local churches and communities, and was followed by a reception in the Hope Village Hall. Fran will be the lead minister for Hope and Shelve churches, the two churches having recently become one parish. Before arriving in Shropshire, Fran was Associate Minister in the benefice of Lawrence Weston and Avonmouth in Bristol.
