47. Appointments of District Chairs see clearly what helps churches and Circuits as well as the Connexion. Paul has many gifts to encourage, influence and inspire people to make decisions that will in turn equip the Church now and for the future. Paul has a passion for team-building which is proven in his work at circuit level. Paul uses the gifts and graces of team members to create a cohesive and productive partnership. He recognises the value of Circuit Stewards and wants to build on the support that is already offered to them by the District. He is committed to pastoral care across the District and will be very effective in this area of ministry. Paul is enthusiastic about the Chair’s role of supporting the schools and believes that the ethos within our maintained schools has beneficial effects for both pupils and staff and believes that this is an effective means of evangelism. Having trained at The Queen’s College, Birmingham ecumenism is in his nature and Paul sees himself as a bridge-builder in ecumenical matters. He was a leading member of the Church Leaders Group leading up to Preston Guild in 2012. As Synod Secretary, Paul is very well known throughout the District. The Synod strongly believes that upon appointment he will inhabit the role of Chair, making it his own. The Synod recommends to the Conference that Paul H Davis be appointed to serve as Chair of the Lancashire District for a period of six years from 1 September 2013. The Revd Dr David P Easton David Easton is currently Superintendent of the Ceredigion Circuit in Wales Synod and concurrently Area Minister of Ardal Ceredigion in Synod Cymru, where he has been since 2009. This follows a period of 22 years in the Cornwall District in three different Circuits, two of them as Superintendent, while from 1981 to 1987 he served in the Motherwell and Wishaw Circuit. David studied History and Comparative Education at Westminster College, Oxford, and proceeded to ministerial training at Wesley House, Cambridge. More recently he completed a PhD from the University of Wales, Lampeter, entitled The Reunion of British Methodism, 1860-1960. As one brought up in, as well as serving in, Cornwall, along with his experience in Scotland, and now in his unique role in two Districts in Wales, where he has learnt to speak Welsh, David brings an unrivalled insight into working in different jurisdictions within the Connexion. He has gained much respect for his role along with others in the Policy Committee’s re-shaping of the role for the new Synod Cymru Chair. His ministry and leadership have been recognised locally, particularly in relation to probationer support, Safeguarding issues, work with students, particularly where there was an urgent need for pastoral support, rapport with a range of ecumenical colleagues, and his demonstration of a vision for mission. His ability to delegate and work as part of a team has been cited, as has his balance between leadership and moderation of differing views in meetings. His creativity Conference Agenda 2013 523
