• Announcement – New Vicar of The Annunciation

  We are delighted to announce that The Revd Dr Lincoln Harvey has been appointed as our next Vicar and will take up his post after Easter.

  Lincoln brings so much to us: He is a theologian who has been teaching the faith to children and adults for nearly twenty years, as well as being a published author and experienced public speaker. He is a man of prayer, having served in a Franciscan religious order before being ordained in 2010 and is very much at home in our catholic traditions. He is also a skilled leader, having helped to set up and run thriving institutions and participating in strategic groups within the Diocese. And he is a local man, living for many years in the West End, and helping on his family’s fruit stall and then fabric shop in Berwick Street Market when growing up. We are therefore confident that Lincoln is a priest who will come among us as someone who prays and serves and understands us, and who will invite us to join him in following Jesus and proclaiming the good news of the gospel. We believe that we will all, young and old alike, quickly come to know him as a friend.

  Lincoln’s ministry has been primarily focussed on St Mellitus College, one of the largest theological colleges in the UK, where he has helped to train women and men for ministry and mission, including the priesthood. Lincoln served his own curacy at St John-at-Hackney with the now Bishop of Edmonton, whilst also studying theology at King’s College London and teaching at St Augustine’s College of Theology. He then served as Associate Priest at St Andrew’s Fulham Fields, and is currently based at St Cuthbert’s Philbeach Gardens in Earl’s Court. It should also be noted that he has a season ticket at the Arsenal.

  Lincoln is married to Tereza, who works in children services for a local authority. They have four children, all girls (and, in addition, one dog and a cat).

  Of his appointment Lincoln says: “I am absolutely delighted to have been called to serve the people of The Annunciation, and am very excited about the future that now beckons. Despite the challenges we all face during this pandemic, it is a genuine joy to begin to imagine what God is actively calling us to be and do in this remarkable part of town. I can’t wait to start getting to know everyone. I am already praying for you, and ask that you all keep me and my family in your prayers as well.”

  Please join us as we pray for Lincoln, Tereza and their family as they prepare to move to The Annunciation. We look forward to welcoming them in April.
