I am a priest working in secular employment. I combine
programme management work in the public sector with a
ministry in the Forest and Avon Team, based in Downton.
I studied in Cambridge and later at the Theological
College in Chichester before being ordained priest in
Leicester in 1991. I served in a large outer city estate
parish there and then as a parish priest in Rutland before
returning to the technology sector in the Cambridge area
when my wife was working in the University. We moved
to the Diocese of Salisbury in 2004. Here, I have been a
primary school governor, hospital foundation trust
governor and assistant rural dean among other things.
My current ministry extends from supporting other
Christians in the workplace, through one of our local fresh
expressions known as ‘Church in the Hall’, to assisting at
Sarum Saint Martin during the vacancy there.

Steve Morgan Currently Rector of St Bartholomew’s Benefice– six
churches near Shaftesbury., and Rural Dean of Chalke. Before
ordination I worked with disadvantaged people for various
projects, eventually ending up at sea on Sail Training ships. I
managed staff in most of my roles and regular reviews were a
very important part of making this successful. I ran management
training and leadership courses for a number of organisations
and loved doing this. I am still involved in the Tall Ships world
which is both a form of (active!) relaxation and a way of keeping
engaged with things outside of the church. I enjoy my work! In
time off I play in a brass band.

David Durston has served in parishes in Wolverhampton, West
Bromwich and the Wylye Valley. He has worked in continuing
ministerial development in Lichfield and Salisbury dioceses and
with the Grubb Institute. His approach to Ministry Review is to
create a space for reflection in a way that is not often possible in
the busyness of everyday life. In this space new thoughts and
ideas about ways forward can emerge. Sometimes the spectator
can see things those who are involved in the situation have not
seen. That makes it possible to Re-View Ministry, and this can
lead to a deeper understanding of what is required, and a clearer
discernment of God's call to action.
David Linaker - has been ordained since 1995 and since then he
has served in parishes in this diocese. He has particular training in
individual and group coaching as well as in creative approaches
to conflict and brings these skills to the Peer review process.

I am currently Team Rector in the Avon River Team ministry and
Rural Dean of Stonehenge. I have been in full-time ministry since
ordination in 1994 and have worked for most of that time in a
Team Ministry context. I am and have been involved in the
training and development of ordinands and those newly
ordained, as well as individual mentoring for colleagues. I have a
Masters Degree in Coaching and Mentoring Practice from Oxford
Brookes University, and enjoy working in various aspects of adult
learning, looking for the potential within and helping to bring out

peoples' various gifts and talents.
For leisure I enjoy spending time in the garden cutting back
weeds when I get the opportunity. I have recently taken an
interest in baking bread, and I am a keen SCUBA diver, usually
when on holiday in the summer.

I was a solicitor for 20 years in private practice, a skill which I
hope helps me to see ‘wood from trees’. I have been the
incumbent of the Benefice of Broughton Gifford, Great Chalfield,
and Holt since 2006, Rural Dean of Bradford since 2008 and Team
Rector of Melksham since 2010. I have a passion to see our local
churches transformed so that they radiate the love, welcome,
and good news of our God who has an extraordinary love for
each of his human creatures.

in Leicestershire. In addition, he now has responsibility for
Kingfisher Church Plant on Paxcroft Mead and Holy Trinity
Trowbridge (Chapel of Ease) and is very involved in town-wide,
joint-churches outreach through CATA (Christian Action in the
Trowbridge Area). He has a longstanding desire to see the
presence of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the
demonstration of the Kingdom of God become everyday,
experienced realities within the historic churches of the UK. This
has led him into fruitful involvements with HTB/Alpha, New
Wine, the Cell Church movement, and more recently, with the
Global Legacy (Bethel Church, Redding CA) and Catch the Fire
networks.

Thomas Woodhouse has been Vicar of Royal Wootton Bassett,

moving to the Diocese of Salisbury he served as Assistant Curate
of Cainscross with Selsley (1995-98) and Vicar of Hardwicke,
Elmore and Longney (1998-2005), both in the Diocese of
Gloucester: there is a very successful Ministry Review Scheme in
place in the Diocese of Gloucester and Thomas made full use of it
from the start of his ministry.

Before ordination Thomas worked in the hotel industry and had
responsibility for staffing and staff training; it is surprising how
many similarities there are between a vocation lived out in the
hotel trade and the vocation of a priest lived out in a parish!!
Throughout his ministry Thomas has paid particular attention to
Continuing Ministerial Development. In 2010 he had an
Extended Ministerial Development Leave when he worked on
strategies of renewing, resourcing and rededicating individual
disciples and the worshipping community. In 2012 he undertook
the Bridge Builders ‘Transforming Church Conflict.’

I was born in Sussex, read Theology at Bristol University and then
did a PGCE in Cambridge. Initially I taught in Bristol and then in
Wiltshire, in and around the Warminster area. For the last 10
years of my teaching career I worked with children who had
Special Educational Needs, running a learning centre attached to
a mainstream school. I trained for ministry at Sarum College on
the STETS course (1998-2001). My curacy (as a self-supporting
minister)was served at The Minster Church in Warminster. In
2004, I changed from non-stipendiary to stipendiary ministry,
becoming the Team Vicar in the Cley Hill Team. Since 2007, I

have been the Rector of the Benefice of the Cley Hill Villages. I
shall retire from full time ministry in September 2013. In
retirement, I hope to continue as a Spiritual Director and
complete my MA in Theology, Imagination and Culture, spend
more time with my family and rediscover hobbies which have
been somewhat neglected recently.

children and believes his family life helps to keep things in
perspective. He enjoys reading, sport and politics. In 2011, he
spent part of his sabbatical exploring a Christian Response to the
Financial Crisis and remains committed to this area of work.
Keenly aware of the weaknesses of the parish system, he is
nevertheless convinced that parish work is more 'mission-shaped'
than is often recognised.
