We are delighted to welcome our very own Liz to the Malagas clergy team, following the BIshop granting her Permission to Officiate within the Chaplaincy

Liz and her husband George joined our congregation here in Salinas a year or so ago after buying their house in the Dehesa near Cuesta la Palma.  We all know her of course, but to inbtroduce her across the Chaplaincy, she has written the follwing paragraphs here: 

“I am the Rural Dean of Whalley in Lancashire, which encompasses the Ribble Valley & Hodder Valley and includes around 32 churches within the deanery. I have been the Vicar of St Peter’s in the village of Salesbury, Lancashire since 2021 following my curacy training in Preston, Lancashire. My parish is very much a community church with lots of Life Event ministries: baptisms, weddings and, owing to its extensive graveyard with views over Pendle Hill, funerals. We work closely with the church school and the committed choir enable us to offer a variety of traditional and contemporary worship.

“I feel very blessed to be ministering here as my parish and deanery are nestled in areas of outstanding natural beauty, rich in farming life and fascinating history.

“I am born and raised in Lancashire and except for some years in Birmingham as a student, I’ve spent my time in the hills and valleys of North West England. A beautiful place when the sun shines, but damp and cold when it’s cloudy, which happens a lot! So drawn by the warmth of the Spanish sun, my husband, George, and I have made a second home near the town of Salinas in Malaga province. Soon after moving in, we were delighted to find an Anglican Congregation who have welcomed us in over the past 12 months.

“We love spending time in southern Spain, appreciating its unique culture and lifestyle, which is of course enhanced by the wonderful climate. I hope to meet you all soon as I take up my role as PTO”.
