As you know we were expecting our new vicar, Revd Maureen, and her husband, Derek, to move into the vicarage last week. I am now able to tell you why that did not happen . Maureen has asked me to share the following statement with you, so that you are aware of her situation. They were hoping to arrive at the Vicarage tomorrow evening, but I have since heard that may not happen. In any case, please give them the support that this village has shown during the last few months. It's going to be a very difficult time for them.

My husband Derek became unwell earlier in the year and eventually was diagnosed with an inoperable cancer. He is now receiving palliative care.
It is Derek' s wish that he returns to the UK and over the last few weeks we have been working hard to get back to the UK. Sobell House, the hospice in Headington are, in conjunction with the hospice here, arranging for Derek to receive the care he needs at the Vicarage.
After speaking with Bishop he has assured me that as a parish we couldn't be in better hands and that he is confident we will receive the support we need at this time.
I am thankful for all the support you have given to me so far in re-locating to Great Coxwell and will appreciate your prayers for us both.
