Dave,
as the Senior Chaplain, is
responsible for the day-to-day running of the
Chaplaincy -
co-ordinating services and events and
being around for the
community whenever he's needed.
Dave has been both a secondary school
teacher & parish priest prior to taking up
his role as chaplain.
His interests
varied, but include outdoor pursuits, reading
..and
is a huge film enthusiast. As far as
his role here at Christ
Church goes, he sees
himself very much in
terms of a parish priest in a university
context, ministering to the needs of staff
& students across the university.
Dave can be found in Augustine House
on Thurs
& Fri mornings and in Medway on a Wednesday.

Sacristans
The term 'Sacristan can either mean:
- (a) someone who has the care of the ‘Sacristy’(a space for keeping vestments such as the cassock and chasuble and other church furnishings, sacred vessels, and parish records.), or
- (b) puff pastry dough that is formed into the shape of a twist, sprinkled with sugar, cinnamon etc, and then baked off.
(David's skills lie in the former
of those 2 definitions!)
Their main duties revolve around serving the priest, maintaining the fabric of the building, and preparing the Chapel for worship. In reality this means they move a lot of chairs and prepare the altar and layout the priest’s robes.
