Knocknamuckley’s new rector – all the way from Cape Town
Revd Alan Kilpatrick, formerly Vicar of St Luke’s, Diep River, Cape Town, was instituted as rector of Knocknamuckley on Wednesday 6 November.
Alan, a Scot by birth, was ordained into the Church of England in 1996. He served his curacy in Ealing and has since ministered in the USA and in Brighton, England, before moving to South Africa in 2009.
Alan has come to Down and Dromore with his wife of 24 years, Jan, and their 4 children. His vision for ministry is ‘to see God worshipped by all peoples and to equip people to reach out to the lost.’
“Jan and I are so excited about coming to Knocknamuckley, he says. “We truly believe that God is going to do something significant in and through the church and that heaven is going to invade earth!”
