Our Ministry Team

 

Reverend Lorne Denny - Parish Priest

   

Father Lorne was licensed as Priest in Charge of this parish on the 3rd of September 2007, the service being conducted by the Bishop of Dover, the Rt Revd Stephen Venner.

 

Fr Lorne is much enjoying the challenge and charge of his first full time post in parish ministry and feels privileged to serve as priest with a lively congregation in such an impressive and beautiful church.

 

Previously he had taught English and directed drama at Magdalen College School Oxford and served as NSM Curate in the parishes of St. Barnabas Oxford and St. Francis Cowley.

 

He can think of no finer work than being an ambassador for the love of Christ to a large, diverse and rapidly growing population and he hopes that people of all kinds will find friendship, meaning and worship that is both joyful and faithful in Holy Trinity Church.

  

Angie Daniel - Lay Reader

     

Angie has lived in this parish for 6 years having moved here from Upchurch, a small village just about 2 miles away, and has two daughters both in their thirties who live quite close, but no grandchildren yet. 

   

She has been retired since February 2007 and is enjoying having more time to work in the parish and hopefully will find more time to play golf, her favourite sport.  She also enjoys walking very much, especially by the sea.

   

She was licensed as a Reader on 22nd July 2007, in Canterbury Cathedral.

 

Jean Chamberlain - Ordinand

      

Jean has previously served our church as lay reader for many years.

 

(Jean has at past times been on retreat to the Society of Mary and Martha at Sheldon in the Teign Valley, near Exeter in Devon.   You may find the pictures at the bottom of the page of interest).

 

     

   


   

The Vicars of Milton

As the list on the Chancel wall remarks:  “It is extremely difficult to find the names of the very early vicars.   Records of the early fourteenth century are very few; the list however is fairly complete from 1390.”

 

It is probable that the church was served by Friars from St. Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury, and after 1148, by those from Faversham.
