New Assistant Priest for St Peter's

It is with great joy that we announce the Revd Jennifer Midgley-Adam as the new Assistant Priest for St Peter's Church.

Mother Jennifer will be licensed by the Bishop of London in her chapel at the Old Deanery by St Paul's Cathedral on Tuesday 6th May and her first Sunday with us will be Sunday 11th May - the Dedication Festival of the new Church - when we shall all welcome the Archdeacon of Charing Cross - Mother Katherine Hedley.

Mother Jennifer grew up in a variety of diverse Christian traditions and in 2010 moved to London where she found her home within the Anglican tradition, it was here that she was baptised and confirmed. 

Before ordination she worshipped at St Martin-in-the-Fields and worked at St Stephen's Rochester Row. She studied Theology for both her undergraduate and master's degrees with her undergraduate dissertation focusing on themes of death and resurrection as seen from the churchyard, and her master's thesis was a case study looking at the connection between the practice of intentional silence and relationship with God. 

She studied for her master's degree alongside formation for ministry at Ripon College, Cuddesdon in Oxford. Following training, she has been serving her curacy at All Hallows by the Tower in the City of London. Jennifer serves as Chaplain for the City of London Sea and Royal Marine Cadet units, and is working towards holding a RYA Safety Boat certification. 

We much look forward to welcoming her and her family to St Peter's after Easter and to this new chapter of our life together in this parish.

With my warmest good wishes and prayers, 

as ever,

Fr Jonathan

My family and I have lived within the St Peter's parish boundary for over a decade and are very much looking forward to becoming an active part of the St Peter's community.

I enjoy coffee (black, no sugar!) and outside of other commitments, we are most likely to be found in a museum or playing boardgames.   

I much look forward to meeting you all soon.
