Noke: St Giles

Cortney Dale was licensed to the Ray Valley Benefice in September 2025 and is now living in the church house in Charlton on Otmoor, which is more centrally located within the Benefice. Cortney writes:I’m excited to join you as the rector for the Ray Valley Benefice! A little about me: I’m an American who grew up in Bowling Green, Kentucky where my whole family was active in our local Episcopal Church.Feeling a call to ministry, I got my Masters in Divinity at Virginia Theological Seminary. I was ordained a priest 10 years ago and in that time, I served six years as the associate rector of Christ Episcopal Church, New Bern, North Carolina and four years as the rector of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church in Lebanon, Ohio. Joining me in this exciting adventure are my husband, Jim Gilmore, and our two sons, Jimmy (7 years old) and Joshua (4 years old). In the small corners of free time I manage to find, I enjoy traveling, cooking, and roller coasters. While I’m a newcomer to the Church of England, Anglican theology and heritage have shaped me for as long as I can remember.I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity to serve God’s church in this beautiful context. Please keep me in your prayers as I am keeping you in mine.
