Who’s Who

REV JOAN WAKELING
Originally ordained as a Deacon 39 years ago in Southwark and then later ordained as a priest in Oxford, Joan was amongst the first women to be accepted into the priesthood following the changes made to the law. Worked in parishes in London, Surrey, Oxford, Berkshire, and lastly in South Wales where she served three parishes immediately before she came here. She has also been a secondary teacher in eleven schools, of all types, all around the country. She taught RE, Life skills, PE and sciences and was senior pastoral staff and school chaplain. She was keen on horses and very much a country girl.
Her hobbies include dance: Scottish, ballroom and modern ballet. She was part of the Epiphany dancers and danced in most of the big churches of the country and on Wimbledon Centre Court. She also plays table tennis, rescues Great Danes and enjoys growing things.
Jesus said to his followers, ‘Go into all the world and make disciples’. I believe the church should be outward looking and attractive. God is real and still working in and around us.
