Bishop Sean is delighted to announce the appointment of the Reverend Dr David Jarratt to the post of parish priest at St Andrew Abu Dhabi.

Fr David is currently Resident Minister in the Benefice of All Saints’ West Bromwich in the West Midlands of England, with responsibility for the churches of St Mary Magdalene and St Philip, and Minister in Charge at the parish church of Good Shepherd with St John.

Prior to his training for ordained Ministry at Cuddesdon College, Oxford—followed by a BA in Ministry from the university of Chichester—David was a teacher in the primary- and secondary-school sectors in the UK. He also holds a PhD in Geography.

Bishop Sean will license Fr David at Synod in February.
