After much thought and prayer I have come to the decision to retire early from my role as Rector at Keston Parish Church. This will bring to an end my 10-year relationship with this beautiful ancient place of worship, and its lovely people. (10 years apart from my short spell in Burrswood in Tunbridge Wells)
I have enjoyed living in two different Rectories – having worked with the Diocese to sell the old one on Commonside and buy the new one in The Dale. We have had a fruitful time joining the more traditional with some innovative ways to meet with God – some of which have not yet come back from the pandemic and others, like our Prayer Walks, which have thrived in spite of it.
Neil and I have felt so at home in this wonderful community and seen quite a lot of change in the village and parish – even in this relatively short space of time! We have so valued the great neighbours in both Commonside and The Dale, our current neighbours being such a wonderful group of people throughout the pandemic!
I will miss so much about Keston and will be praying that your next Rector will also enjoy the privilege of being with your all.
Rev Carol Morrison
