Michael Rees 1937 – 2018

Michael Rees, with his welcoming smile, will be remembered by generations of Cambridge students as the vicar of Holy Trinity Church (1972 –1984).

Michael stayed close to the CICCU, and after the Sunday evening service dispersed, the CICCU would take over the building for its weekly evangelistic address.

Church Army

In 1984 Michael was appointed as Chief Secretary of the Church Army, where he restructured to devolve more responsibility to regions, and oversaw the early planning to relocate its training school in Sheffield. In 1990 he and his wife Yoma moved to Chester, where he was appointed as the first Diocesan Missioner, under Bishop Michael Baughen, an old friend.
