Meet The Current Chaplain
John and Jill Currin will be in Wengen from 27th January - 10th February
Hello,
I’m John Currin, now a retired minister in the Church of England having served several parishes in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Hampshire.
By background I’ve been a mountaineer, having climbed widely in the UK as well as in the Alps, Dolomites and in 1994 served as Chaplain to the British Mount Everest Expedition.
My climbing aspirations are now very modest but I continue to deeply appreciate the beauty of mountain environments and their communities. I’m looking forward to once again serving at St Bernard’s Wengen and welcoming all into the warmth of that very special place of worship.
