She finds her own spiritual nourishment in silence and contemplative prayer. She practises a wide ministry of spiritual direction and believes that listening to people as they explore their inner journey is an immense privilege.
Cathy follows the Celtic belief that all human beings are made in the image of God and therefore are essentially good, whilst at the same time also capable of great evil. It is by recognising the presence of Christ within ourselves that we can grow into the likeness of God and be transformed, and meditative and contemplative prayer aid this transformation.
Cathy also has a passion for environmental concerns, seeing the whole of creation as belonging to God and to be cherished by us for God and for future generations.

With two grown-up daughters, Chris is used to relating to young as well as old; he was formerly teaching 11-18 year olds in a number of subjects. Before that, he was in ministry in 3 free churches and has experience leading the work of charities as well as 12 years in Whitehall, working to ministers of a different type!

She has been a committed Christian for most of her life. In 1995 Avril was ordained a Deacon followed by ordination to the Priesthood in 1997 serving as a non stidendary minister in our team until 2000.
Having been a nurse for many years she always felt called to minister to the sick so it was a natural progression to move into chaplaincy work when the opportunity arose. As a chaplain Avril works as part of a team at Southmead and Frenchay Hospitals where they offer themselves as a first contact for everyone`s spiritual and pastoral needs be they patients, staff and visitors and of all religions and none.
Local folk will often say they miss seeing Avril about the villages, but they certainly appreciate seeing a familiar face in what can be a very worrying and distressing environment. Do let Avril know if you ever find yourself in this situation!'); } // -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
