She was involved in the reburial of Richard III at Leicester Cathedral and its impact on Cathedral and city life. Author of two books, 'Uncovering Sin: A gateway to healing and calling' SPCK 2012 and contributor to 'Crossing Thresholds: A practical theology of Liminality' James Clarke 2021. Lover of test cricket, Man United and her gorgeous cat Rory.
Rev Rosy Fairhurst
Robin Gamble is our Assisting Minister. He was born and raised in West Bowling making him a true Bradfordian! Robin served as Vicar of St Augustine’s during the 1980s, a time when the church both grew in numbers and was physically redeveloped into the structure we know today. He returns as a highly valued member of the church, regularly preaching at and leading Sunday services. He earned the nickname Rockin’ Robin thanks to his imaginative approach to sharing the Christian message, from opening The Cock and Bottle, the world’s first Christian pub here in BD3, to leading a rock mass at Bradford Cathedral. Robin is also the founder of LYCIG (Leading Your Church into Growth), a Christian initiative that supports churches and leaders in growing both spiritually and numerically. On Sundays, he is often joined by his wife, Maureen, who plays the piano during services, and their daughter, Zoe. Together, they are cherished members of our church community.
