The Reverend Dr David Jarratt, parish priest of St Andrew Abu Dhabi, is to leave the Diocese in June, when he is to assume the role of Rector of the parish of Stony Stratford with Calverton in the Diocese of Oxford.

Bishop Sean expressed his thanks to Fr David for his ministry in the Diocese, during which time attendance at St Andrew’s Church steadily increased and the work of St Thomas’s Church, Al Ain resumed. Please pray for Fr David and his wife Mercy as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives and ministry.
