It is with sadness that we write to tell you that our Moderator, the Rev’d Bridget Banks, has had to take early retirement on health grounds, from 30th June. She is deeply saddened to have to end her formal ministry this way, but she has come to the conclusion it is the right thing for her and the Synod.
We give thanks for all that Bridget has done in her ministry with us, serving in a local pastorate, various committees and as Moderator to the Synod. She has served with compassion, deep pastoral care, and always sought to do her best. Hearts have been touched by her kindness and lives impacted by her service. We are grateful for all the ways in which she has shared the gospel message of love through her calling and faithfulness. She will be missed.
We will be arranging a way to offer our formal thanks to Bridget and will be in touch with the details soon.
In the meantime, if you have any queries about the life of the Synod please do not hesitate to contact us.
