PASTORAL CARE DURING THE 'VACANCY'

In normal circumstances, Church of England clergy are available to offer help, advice and a listening ear to any resident of their parish. When a parish is without a minister, this role is transferred to the Area Dean and the assistant Area Deans, who are senior members of the clergy based in other parishes in the area. 

Rev Simon Winn (Area Dean, vicar of St Alphege, Greenwich)  - [email protected] 07951 029 309

Rev Liz Newman (assistant Area Dean; rector of St Luke and St Thomas, Charlton) - [email protected] 07922 587 263

Rev Laura Faturoti (assistant Area Dean; vicar of St George, Westcombe Park, within the East Greenwich Team Ministry)– [email protected] 07877 387 194

At any time, anyone can contact SPIDIR, an organisation offering spiritual direction in the Southward diocese. Some of our visiting preachers during the vacancy are accredited spiritual directors within SPIDIR (if necessary, highlight the link below, right click and select 'Go to...'):

All of the above are confidential contacts, which can be made without anyone at church knowing about them. If you have a safeguarding concern, please refer to the Safeguarding information on our home page, which includes appropriate contacts both within and outside our church.
