Appointment of a new Associate Vicar
We are delighted to be able to announce the successful appointment of Revd Roland Slade as the new Associate Vicar at All Saints Ecclesall. Roland is due to start with us in the summer.
Please do pray for Roland and his wife Caroline as they start their transition from Chalfont St Peter to Sheffield in the coming months. Thank you all for your prayers and to those members involved in the recruitment and interview process.
Revd Roland Slade’s biography
Roland initially studied Biochemistry at Southampton University, before working for St Aldate’s Oxford and the Church Mission Society. He also spent a year teaching in Tanzania, before training for ordination at Ridley Hall in Cambridge. He completed his curacy at another All Saints’ Church – in Marlow, Buckinghamshire!
Since September he has been an interim vicar in the village of Chalfont St Peter. Roland is an avid trail runner and rugby fan, and is looking forward to exploring the Peak District alongside his wife Caroline, and their puppy Oakley. Both Roland and Caroline are musicians, and are looking forward to joining the choirs and orchestras of Sheffield as well as bringing their gifts to the worship team. In ministry, Roland is passionate about discipleship, preaching, and training up young leaders across the church.
Roland’s licensing will take place on Wednesday 29th June at 7:30pm in church. More information will follow in due course.
We are really looking forward to welcoming Roland and Caroline to All Saints Ecclesall.
Yours in Christ,
The Revd Canon Mark Brown
