David Middleton introduces himself.
I am originally from the West Country, but on leaving school
gained a commission in the Royal Navy and, after university at Exeter,
ended up being deployed all over the world for the next seven years.
Leaving in 1997, I moved to London to do the Cornhill Training
Course and to work part-time for what was then the Officer’s Christian
Union.
I met my wife
Aly, a doctor from Northern Ireland, while
living in Wimbledon and we married in March 1999. We then went to Hampshire where I had been offered an
opportunity to serve in a parish just outside Basingstoke for two years.
In September 2001 I began ordination training at Wycliffe
Hall in Oxford and, after two years, we came to Ipswich where we have been
for the past three years while I have been a curate at St John’s.
We have very much enjoyed our time at St John’s, but are pleased
to be working at Luke’s.
We are also in the process of adopting a baby
girl from China and are very excited at the prospect – we are not sure
quite when this will happen and this means. Aly may or may not look for
work locally once we are settled. Our
interests include: cooking, sport, music and, of course, China.
