PRIEST IN CHARGE

John Lambert

I became a Christian in 1979, at the age of 17 in a Christian Youth Centre in Berkshire. It was an amazing place with a fantastic welcoming atmosphere. I had an encounter with the love of God and I was so struck hearing about all that Jesus said and did. I remember how it had such a ring of truth and the more I thought about it, the more it rang true. In the end, I gave up my resistance. I knew my friends would think I was a bit of loser becoming a Christian but, honestly, I think they are the ones who lost out.

I am married to Kathie and we have four children, two of whom are grown up and now live in Edinburgh and Versailles. They both go to churches there. Joe and Ben live with us here and are at All Saints’. Kathie and I also wait on our cat 24/7 but Orion appears, so far, to have little interest in spiritual things.
