The northern border of the benefice, at Emberton, also borders the thriving market town of Olney. This is a lovely place to live and an exciting place to minister. The vacancy offers many opportunities for developing the mission of these churches and the lay teams here are eager to reach out into their communities. This is an exciting time to be joining the Newport deanery too. With the ongoing expansion of Milton Keynes and the planned Oxford-Cambridge arc, and East-West rail, this part of the world will become even more of a hub than it already is. Because of the proposed reorganisation of the whole deanery, we seek to appoint an Interim Priest-in-Charge with the gifts and experience to prepare this benefice for its ministry and mission in the years to come.
