I am here. It seems like an age since I was at my desk. Having had a proper blow out and being reunited with my Liverpool friends means that I am starting to reintegrate into my Liverpool community. I also was reminded about how supportive you have been of mine and Mark's change of circumstances. It never ceases to amaze me how great you, my friends, have been about me becoming a vicar. Even though it may not be your chosen religion or your lifestyle choice I am encouraged by your support and love for us. The many conversations I had over the weekend reinforced that sense of being surrounded by people who see this as an important thing to do. For that I am immensely grateful.
So, here I am reading about Anglicanism and dolly daydreaming about being in a field in Shropshire surrounded by lovely people, a glass of something cool and bubbly in my hand (and a megaphone in the other) having a laugh. I must focus. I have an exam to prepare for! By the way - Mark's photos are great and I will send a link to them asap.
About Me
- Ellen Loudon
- I have lived in Liverpool since I was 18years old. I came here to study drama, pop music and be an actor. I spent a couple of years in a theatre company in Leeds during the mid 1990's returning to start an academic career at Edge Hill University in 1998. In 2001 I started to explore the possibility of full time ministry in the church of England. After a long period of discernment I started at Trinity College, Bristol in 2006 and trained be a vicar. I was ordained as a Deacon in Liverpool Anglican Cathedral in June 2008 and ordained priest in June 2009. I am serving as the assistant curate at St John Chrysostom and St Peter's churches, Everton.
