C of E minister now Free in Scotland

A Church of England minister who has a ‘heart for the north of Scotland’ has accepted a call to be minister of Thurso & North Coast Free Church – part of the Free Church of Scotland.

Jerry Taylor has been welcomed into ministry in the FCoS after serving for 15 years in the C of E. ‘We are encouraged that when the Lord calls, He equips, and He will provide,’ he said.

Jerry has been married to June for over 20 years and they have three sons: Magnus, 19, Erlend, 17, and Olaf, 14. They have been living near Leicester where Jerry has served as a Church of England minister in a small post-industrial town and a rural village for the past 12 years. June was raised in Shetland and has roots in Orkney.
