[4] She studied theology at Selwyn College, Cambridge, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1988. [6] [5] She worked as a high school religious education teacher, [7] and completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) teaching qualification with the London Institute of Education in 1990. [6]

Ordained ministry

From 1991 to 1993, she trained for ordained ministry at The Queen's Foundation, an ecumenical theological college in Birmingham. [6] She was made a deacon in the Church in Wales, at Petertide 1993 (26 June), by Rowan Williams, Bishop of Monmouth, at Newport Cathedral. [8] From 1993 to 1996, she served her curacy at St Matthew's Church, Newport in the Diocese of Monmouth. [6] Next, she was incumbent at Ysbyty Cynfyn, first as deacon-in-charge (1996–1997) and then as vicar (1997–2002). [6] [5] She was ordained as a priest in 1997, [6] the first year the Church in Wales ordained women to the priesthood.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Diocese of Monmouth</span> Anglican diocese of the Church in Wales

The Diocese of Monmouth is a diocese of the Church in Wales. Despite the name, its cathedral is located not in Monmouth but in Newport — the Cathedral Church of St Woolos. Reasons for not choosing the title of Newport included the existence of a Catholic Bishop of Newport until 1916. This apparent anomaly arose in 1921 when the diocese was created with no location for the cathedral yet chosen. Various options were being considered, such as restoring Tintern Abbey, building from scratch on Ridgeway Hill in Newport, and upgrading St Woolos, then a parish church; in the meantime the new diocese, as it covers more or less the territory of the county of Monmouth, was named the "Diocese of Monmouth". Prior to 1921 the area had been the archdeaconry of Monmouth.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dean of Llandaff</span> Office in the Church of Wales

Dean of Llandaff is the title given to the head of the chapter of Llandaff Cathedral, which is located in Llandaff, Cardiff, Wales. It is not an ancient office – the head of the chapter was historically the Archdeacon who appears in this role in the Liber Landavensis and in the Chapter Acts preserved in the Glamorgan Records Office – but the office of a separate Dean was established by act of parliament in 1843. A century later the Deanery was merged with the Vicarage of Llandaff. The Chapter forfeited its legal rights on Disestablishment in 1920, when the Dean and Chapter as an ecclesiastical corporation was dissolved, under the terms of the Welsh Church Act 1914. There continues, however, to be a Dean and Chapter under the scheme or constitution made under the Constitution of the Church in Wales.
