The Reverend Canon Dr Paul Burt moves from Seafarers' Mission to take up the role of resident chaplain of Abu Dhabi for an interim period.
As Canon Andy Thompson MBE and his wife, the Reverend Navina Thompson, move on this summer to the next stage in their ministries, Archbishop Michael has appointed the Reverend Canon Dr Paul Burt to be interim resident chaplain and parish priest of Abu Dhabi, based at St Andrew’s in the capital. His interim ministry is expected to last for up to twelve months, guiding the church while a permanent successor is sought.
Paul is a recent senior chaplain of the Mission to Seafarers in Dubai as well as the Mission’s regional director for the Gulf and South Asia. He is an honorary canon of St Paul’s Cathedral in Nicosia.
We join with the Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf to pray for Paul and Miriam Burt, for Andy and Navina Thompson, and for the people of St Andrew Abu Dhabi and St Thomas Al ‘Ain.
