Priest in Charge

Revd Tracey Byrne 

​​

Reverend Tracey was born and brought up in Coventry, but for the 20 years or so prior to her ordination lived in Lincolnshire, and then Newark.  She has worked in education and the voluntary sector, and has also been a hospital chaplain - in Mansfield - and a university chaplain - at Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln.  Before ordination she ran OneBodyOneFaith, an ecumenical charity working for the affirmation and inclusion of LGBTQ people in the life and ministry of the churches.  She trained for ministry at Ripon College, Cuddesdon, and served her curacy alongside Father Wayne and the people of St John the Baptist Beeston.

Tracey has been involved in volunteering at the Greenbelt festival for many years, and in her spare time enjoys needlework, walking and taming the vicarage garden.  She and Sandy are delighted to have been called to live amongst and serve the people of Carrington, just a short hop across the city centre, and are looking forward to getting to know the community in the coming weekend and months as we embark on this next phase of our journey together.
