Listen "How do you run a retreat house?"
Episode Synopsis
Two married priests have been appointed to lead the diocesan retreat house, Foxhill.
The Revd Lucy and the Revd David Brewster will take up the job share in September, with Lucy titled Director-Designate and David as Chaplain.
We went to find out a bit more about the appointment and their hopes for Foxhill in the future.
They said that despite having seen the job advert, they never dreamt of applying or that it could be them that God was calling to the post until they picked up a voice message on their answerphone from Bishop Sam Corley, the Bishop of Stockport, who suggested that in fact, they might be the perfect candidates.
Foxhill House dates back to the 1860s and is set within 70 acres of beautiful Cheshire countryside and woodlands. It has been run by the Diocese of Chester as a retreat centre since 1968. Find out more on their website: Foxhill House | What's on (foxhillchester.co.uk)
