Our new minister Shannon De Laureal has arrived with her husband Doug and her son Brennan and they have settled into the Manse at Addingham.

They come to us all the way from Louisiana but they have spent the last nine years across the Irish sea in Northern Ireland and then in Tipperary in the Republic. Their family name plainly has French connections too so I am sure they will not mind us saying that they share with the people of this country a good mongrel identity - they are going to fit in easily !
