My name is Pauline Shepherd and I live in Richmond North Yorkshire.

I am a retired Anglican priest with permission to officiate in Leeds and Lichfield Dioceses . I am originally from York where I came to faith in my early teens  through the witness of my RE teacher and the ministry of the late Rev David Watson. 

In the 1970’s and early 80’s I lived in community and was part of the team travelling with David on citywide missions. I have been involved in church leadership in lay and ordained capacities. I was ordained in 2003.

I have many years experience as a Spiritual Director which  is my primary calling. I long to see people finding the depth of God’s love for them and providing a safe space for them to work out their spiritual journey. I feel privileged to be part of this ministry of walking alongside people in this way.
