This appointment is made subject to the usual safeguarding procedures. It is hoped that Fr Charles will be instituted and inducted at a service in January 2025.
Fr Charles Card-Reynolds
Fr Charles Card-Reynolds grew up close to the Essex coast. While at university he frequently stayed with the monks of the Society of St John the Evangelist at their priories in Oxford and London. He was admitted to their Fellowship in 2001 after a time as a postulant - their charism of missionary priesthood has shaped his own ministry.
Father holds degrees in Theology, Education and most recently, History of Art, where he specialised in historic black British portraiture . He was a seminarian at S. Stephen's House, 1996-98, and later served the college for twelve years on the governing council.
Since 2012 he has been the Commissary for the Diocese of the Windward Islands and in 2022 became a canon of the Diocese of Cape Town; greatly appreciating his connections with the Provinces of the West Indies and South Africa. He served his title in the parishes of The Most Holy Trinity (SMF) and S. Mark in Reading, and for the last eighteen years has had the great pleasure and honour of being the vicar of S. Bartholomew on Stamford Hill. In the Stepney Area he has worked as Assistant Area Director of Ordinands.
Father collects C20th studio pottery and antique prints, adores cheese and knows his way around a tot of rum.
