Announcement from 14 December 2025
Dear all,
It was announced today in church that I have been appointed Rector of All Saints with St Antony in Sanderstead.
The dates of my leaving Christ Church and starting in Sanderstead have stiil to be agreed (and are subject to the Bishop's diary!)
This is a call from God to one more parish and is a fresh start. In no way am I running away from Christ Church (!) and this news is tinged with some sadness at leaving as well as excitement for that new thing God has in store.
Further details to follow and happy to have a chat over coffee if anyone would like to.
Regards
Doug
Rev Doug McHardie
Vicar Christ Church Purley
