Who's who
Rural Officers
Helping the majority of those who live in this diocese - those who live and/ or work in a rural setting.
Your Rural Officers are:
 |
The Revd Richard Kirlew 01963 23570, 07966 754110 |
Richard’s role extends across the whole of Dorset, from chaplaincy work in Salisbury livestock market, to working with a PCC in a tiny, very rural parish, to talking to a farmer with major problems.
Richard is happy to come to parishes to assist clergy, lay ministers and PCCs looking at how to become more engaged in rural mission and ministry, or supporting the farming industry. Equally, he is quite happy to preach at special services by arrangement.
If you are considering a project under the Rural Hope programme, an initiative through the Germinate: Arthur Rank Centre, or a village-based activity, contact Richard and he will be only too happy to help.
