It was announced today that David will be moving from Brittany at the end of August. He says “We will be sad to say goodbye to our friends in Brittany. I will be keeping you in my prayers, as the Chaplaincy Council plan for the coming months with the support of myself and the Archdeacon.”
Our last Sunday in Brittany will be 23rd August and the licensing service in Kent will most likely be on the 10th September.
The official announcement is below:
“The Bishop of Rochester is pleased to announce that, subject to completion of the usual legal formalities, The Revd David McLeod is to be appointed to the dual-role post of Associate Archdeacon of Rochester and Vicar of Princes Park, Chatham.
“David currently lives in Brittany, where he moved with his family when he became Chaplain to Christ Church Brittany and the first Area Dean of North West France. His role as chaplain included serving four worship centres, helping people to grow as disciples, building community and strengthening good relationships with local churches. His wealth of experience in parish ministry, which spans more than 20 years, will certainly be put to very good use here. While much of his priestly ministry has been in Oxford Diocese, David knows this area well, having grown up just 6 miles away… David is married to Sue, and they have 16-year-old twins and a much-loved family dog. Prior to ordination David worked for 10 years as an Occupational Therapist specialising in stroke and brain injury patients. Away from his priestly ministry, he enjoys outdoor activities such as walking, paddle-boarding and cycling. He is also a keen photographer, and plays the ukulele… Please hold David, Sue and the family in your prayers as they prepare to move over the summer.”
