We are delighted to announce that the Revd Karen Wellman was installed and licensed on 4 September 2023 as Priest-in-Charge of the Benefice of Stow, Condicote and The Swells. The Benefice has been in vacancy since the Reverend Martin Short retired in October 2021.

Karen joins us from St Mark’s Teddington in the Diocese of London. Please hold her in your prayers as she commences her ministry in the Benefice.

It is with great pleasure that the Churchwardens, PCCs and people of all the Benefice Churches welcome Karen, as we seek together to bring God’s love and the message of the saving grace of Jesus Christ, our Lord, to everyone in our communities. .
