Rev Jenny Dyer

"When I left University, I became first a solicitor specialising in charity law, and then a full-time mum. It was when my children started school and I was looking to return to my legal career that I felt that God was calling me into the ministry. We were living in Liverpool at the time, and I trained on a course based in Manchester. I was a minister for six years on the Wirral and then for seven years in Coventry, where I was also Free Church Chaplain at Warwick University.

"My family consists of three students! My husband, Nigel, had a career in telecoms, but is now studying for a PhD in Biology at Warwick University. My daughter, Naomi, is reading Art and English Literature at Aberystwyth. And my son, Jacob, is waiting for A-level results and hopes to be studying Natural Sciences at Cambridge, or Physics at Warwick.

"I enjoy running to keep fit, cycling to get around and climbing mountains any chance I get. Among my less active spare time activities (what spare time?) I am exploring my family history and trying to get my mind around New Testament Greek."

Deacon Chris Greening

Chris is on a three-month sabbatical break from ministry during January, February and March.

"I am going to work as a volunteer for a month at the large Christian Community Centre at Cape Town called Living Hope.

"I have always wanted to go to South Africa; it looks such a beautiful country, with a varied population and a fascinating history.

"South Africa has suffered a great deal and continues to do so with issues of poverty and the effects of HIV/AIDS. Having talked with some of our church group who visited Living Hope, I know that some of my experiences there will be emotionally draining, while some will be very joyful and inspiring. I hope to discover where God is in the beauty and in the pain."
