 I was appointed as Vicar in summer 2004, am married to Heather, and we have one daughter, Pippa. We love being in Kingston and part of St Paul's. There's always lots going on - it's sometimes challenging, often exciting but never dull! I have a particular heart for preaching, writing and teaching, and greatly enjoy speaking at Lee Abbey and at New Wine. Heather leads the women's ministry at St Paul's and helps run our baby and toddler groups. In our spare time, we both love reading and writing - Heather writes Bible reading notes and I am a medieval historian, writing about the Vikings and 9th-century coinage (bizarre, I know!). Heather also loves cooking and we all love coffee shops, where we'll often be found on days off and holidays. |

 Born in the Highlands of Scotland, which will always be the most beautiful part of the world. Met husband John at St Andrew's University while studying theology. Was told in 1975 I "would be a Vicar one day!" but joined the Diplomatic Service instead… Four children and 25 years later I was ordained in October 2000 as a non-stipendiary minister. My passion is to worship God and to enable others to do the same. I am also involved with the pastoral care of the church. In my spare time I love to relax with family and friends over a good meal, sing and get creative - not necessarily all at the same time! |
 I'm Sally Butler, the full-time youth worker at St. Paul’s, working with 11-18 year olds here and in the community. I love seeing young people welcomed and fully involved in church life. I also lead services (including our creative, contemplative service D.E.E.P.) and preach. My interests include music, films, reading, theatre and visiting places of interest. Although my favourite hobby is eating chocolate!! |

 I met my husband, Andy, as an undergraduate at university in Johannesburg, where I completed a Biological Science degree, studying ants in the Kalahari Desert. We moved to New Zealand with our 2 young children, Luke and Caitie, where we spent 11 years before returning to London in 2007. We have been at St Paul’s since then and love being part of the community! I’m a Governor at St Paul’s school, enjoy playing tennis, cycling, flying and dog-walking in Richmond Park. |

 I am married to Bridget with grown up children who have flown the nest (just). I am a Chartered Electrical Engineer and started my career in large electric motor manufacturing in Norwich then moved to building services working for the Civil Service in London, Germany and Plymouth, then on to my current management job with a private property company in London. We moved to Kingston in 1997. |

 Raised in South Africa where I trained and worked as a teacher, I moved to the UK in 1999 with my husband Niklaus and have lived in Kingston since 2002. I love spending time with my family and friends, reading and trying to get my trainers on often enough to call myself a runner. When not running along the river, running my home or running my children around, I like to chat, chat, chat! I am passionate about God and our church and am honoured to serve as warden.

 I have been the assistant curate at St Paul's since June 2008. It’s great to be here as I learn the ropes on how to be a vicar! I lead the student work at St Paul's. I was born in Sri Lanka and I am married to Lovisa who comes from Sweden, so you can guess where we go on holiday! Apart from travelling I like music, films, cycling, reading books and garam masala. I am also a keen member of my local gym where I use up my spare energy. |
