1 am very pleased to be joining the Gauzebrook Group of Churches in this beautiful part of the world, alongside my wife, Georgiana, and our children, Henry (4) and Clara (2).

We are excited to get to know the churches and communities here and to discover more about this beautiful area. I very much look forward to getting to know you all, sharing in the life of the churches, and growing together in faith and
