Everyday Faith Podcast - Bidston

Strategic Programme Manager, Rebecca Holland is sitting in for our regular host, Ruth Bull, in a recorded conversation with a live audience - where you get to ask questions!

The following line up of panelists will be sharing their experiences of faith on the frontline.

Ian Gould-Jones, St Oswald’s, Bidston, Birkenhead Deanery. Ian is Head of Scheduling for the University of Law, which has campuses across the country and oversees.  He is open about being a Christian both in the workplace where he prays with others and in his poetry writing and performances.  Ian was brought up in Bidston and is still committed to serving this community.

Suzie Williams, St Mary’s Liscard, Wallasey Deanery. Royal Navy Officer, social worker and musician. In retirement, Suzie moved to Mariners Park in Liscard, a community for all seafarers.  She has been getting to know her neighbours and to care for them.  Suzie’s intent is to be obvious about why she does things, being plain about her Christian faith. 

Sarah Bishton, Church Administrator, Christ Church, Moreton, Wallasey Deanery. Sarah came to faith after her daughter expressed an interest about knowing more about Jesus. She describes that at this time she did not have a faith. Sarah in now the church administrator, serves on the PCC and is a valued member of the church family at Moreton.
