As father of a young family, he shares the commitment to the Christian sustaining of family life which is the defining characteristic of the Mothers’ Union.  His will be a ministry of prayerfulness, strengthened by the love of the Gospel and a profound respect for every human being made in the likeness of God.

Ben will serve in this role for a period of three years, until 31 January 2022.  He follows Nigel Cretney, Diocesan Chaplain for the past Triennium, and I take this opportunity to thank Nigel most warmly for his ministry of care and support to the Mothers’ Union.

I ask us to hold the work and witness of the Mothers’ Union in loving prayer as it begins this new chapter in its life.
