Rev Alex Jeewan
The Bishop of Ely is pleased to announce that The Rev'd Alexander (Alex) Jeewan, currently Team Vicar, Saffron Walden (St Mary's) and Villages including Ashdon, Debden, Great Chesterford, Hadstock, Little Chesterford, Littlebury, Wendens Ambo and Wimbish with Thunderley in the Diocese of Chelmsford is to be Priest in Charge to serve in the Benefice of All Saints, Milton (Subject to a satisfactory DBS check). Alex will be licensed by Bishop Dagmar on 26 October 2023.
Alex, his wife Caroline, and their two sons, Thomas and Ben, hope to move in October to be licensed at the end of the month.
Alex says, ‘It is with excitement that I accept this post and the next stage in my ministry. I am looking forward to working with All Saints and the people of Milton to see God working in and around us. Caroline and I are very much looking forward to the new joys and challenges that it will bring. However, it is a mixture of happiness and sadness, as I have very much enjoyed my time as Team Vicar in the Saffron Walden Team. I will miss my friends, colleagues and parishioners but I know God has called me on to pastures new.’
Please do pray for Alex and his family as they prepare to move and as he prepares to take up his new ministry in Milton. We also pray for the parishes in the Saffron Walden and Villages Team as the family prepare to say goodbye to them.
Please also pray for the Saffron Walden ministry team in the light of the changes taking place in the coming months.
Ella Harris will remain as curate for both Saffron Walden and the Cam Village churches. However, it should be noted that Ella will continue her training and, at this time, will not be occupying the role that Alex leaves behind. Please continue to support Ella as she continues to train to be a priest in God’s Church.
