She received her Master of Divinity from Queen's Theological College and was ordained by London Conference in 2003, following which she served at Wellington Street United in London until 2009. Wendy is committed to ministry that is fully inclusive, to worship that is joyful, faithful and creative, and to helping congregations discover the best in themselves so that they might be and do their best for the world.
