Clergy Team:
Vicar: Revd Dr Chris Szejnmann
I am married to Revd Kate and we have four children. I am a former Professor of Modern History and worked at Universities in London, Leicester and Loughborough (for my academic books on the racist-genocidal Nazis and the Holocaust, see here). God showed up relatively late in my life – totally unexpected and very powerfully. When I accepted Christ as my Lord in a packed church in Leicester, someone shouted ‘This is a miracle!’ God works in beautiful and mysterious ways and I am now Vicar of Holy Trinity, Barkingside. Somehow God re-tuned me and is using in new ways my heart for justice, my compassion for the marginalised, and my pioneering spirit (for more about my calling see here).
Associate Priest: Revd Kate Szejnmann
My calling is to reach out and connect with the lost, the least and lonely, and it’s wonderful to see how God seems to bless this at Holy Trinity Barkingside and its community. I am a Gatherer and Messenger who loves to share the Good News of Jesus Christ; who speaks out messages, pictures and visions to encourage, strengthen and comfort the broken.
