Speaking of his journey to ordination, Jonathan said, “ I’ve come to know God as a God of surprises and I hope to be able to offer others the kind of pastoral support I received along the way”

The Revd Sarah-Jane King will be ordained as priest, and will continue to serve as assistant curate at St Martha and St Mary, Leuven. Sarah-Jane has a passion for mission, ministry, and social justice.

The Revd Glen Ruffle is heading to Holy Trinity Geneva. He will be ordained as priest on Saturday. Glen looks forward to teaching the Bible and making it more accessible to people.
