Revd Caroline Taylor (Vicar)

Caroline was licenced as Vicar of St Cuthberts in July 2021. Before that, she was curate at St John’s, Hoxton in London. She trained at Cranmer Hall, Durham University where she first discovered the loveliness of the North East.

Prior to being ordained, she had a career in archaeology as a field archaeologist and then consultant. Alongside that she was involved in a youth project in the East End of London.

"I love learning and I especially love exploring the Bible with people - whether you've read it a hundred times or never before, there is always something new to spot. I am excited to see how God is at work in Marton, Easterside and Coulby Newham, bringing abundant life to all different types of people"

Revd Sam Tyndall (Pioneer Minister)

Sam has been an Associate Minister at St Cuthberts since July 2019. Sam was appointed by Bishop Paul as a Pioneer Minister for Coulby Newham. Sam oversees our 4pm Congregation, Church in a Building, a new Church community with a particular focus on families and young adults in Coulby Newham who don’t currently go to church. Sam is part of the Multiply Reach team in the Diocese of York. Before coming to St Cuthbert’s, Sam was curate at St Barnabas, Linthorpe.

Revd Sr Karan Brewin

Karan is a member of The Order of the Holy Paraclete based at Whitby and first came as a Deacon to St. Cuthbert's at the start of the Millennium! Bishop Paul and Sister Jocelyn (the Prioress of the OHP) invited Karan to take up residence in St. Agnes Vicarage on Easterside in Autumn 2020.

'Although originally a "Brummy" I grew up near Glasgow where I had many happy years as a primary school teacher. I trained with the Church Army and the Diocese before being appointed as Honorary Curate to St. Aidan's Episcopal Church, Clarkston. I have been a professed Sister for many years and am a relatively new priest, so I have much to learn! I especially look forward to welcoming St. Agnes' members to Eucharistic services in our new home.'

Alan Proudler (Churchwarden)

Alan has been Churchwarden at St Cuthberts since 2012.

‘It has been a great honour and pleasure to serve in that role for nearly nine years.  I first began to worship at St Cuthberts in 2004 after the death of my father and encouragement from my wife Linda.  Rev'd Mike Proctor was vicar at that time and I began to look forward to his sermons which always seemed to be directed at me.  The welcome and friendliness of the congregation encouraged me to become more involved.  An Alpha Course was the start of my journey to confirmation, the journey isn't over and I look forward to the next phase and welcoming a new incumbent.’
