The Revd Christopher Sims

Chris Sims was appointed as Priest in Charge of the Abbey and St. Peter's Church in September 2003. He was made Vicar of the parish in November 2007 and appointed Rural Dean of Shrewsbury in January 2008

He was a school teacher in the West Midlands before training for the ordained ministry at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford in 1977.

He subsequently served in parishes in Birmingham, Carlisle and the Lake District. His experience of parish ministry has therefore been in the inner city, suburbia and the countryside. His particular concerns are for Christians to engage with the world in mission and evangelism. The primary calling of all God's people is to be people of prayer. Prayer lies at the heart of discovering God's will and purpose for us and releasing His power to change us and transform society.
