Anna Walker joins Lancaster Priory as Ordinand - 18/10/18

Before starting a family, Anna trained and worked as a deacon in Helsinki. This is a vocation in itself which doesn’t lead to priesthood in the Finnish Lutheran Church, but looks a lot like social work in the church context. Now, 16 years after ordination as deacon, Anna is following a calling to priesthood in the Church of England. During her placement she is looking forward to learning to communicate the hope and freedom which she finds in Christ in new ways and being able to serve the parish in laetitia pacis.
In recent years, Anna has worked in student welfare with international foundation year students at Lancaster University. She has also been involved in facilitating spirituality courses and spiritual director training in Cumbria. She loves nature and tries her best to minimise her carbon footprint for example by not driving. As her hobbies, she lists walking, baking, reading spiritual books and journalling.
