After roles in nursing, business, property and as a mother of four, Lisa was ordained in 1999. Between then and when she joined the team in 2017 she did research degrees while working in Salford as a Rector and Area Dean. Outside her 0.5 parish time she links us with the wider Church by serving on General Synod (the C of E’s governing body) and as a Canon of Manchester Cathedral and honorary Chaplain for Emmanuel Theological College.
Lisa especially loves being with people who are asking questions about God, or their own vocation. Her hobbies include taking groups to Israel, Hebrew, chess, and scuba-diving with her very patient husband, John.
