Peter, who is married to Amy and has three children, Rebecca (8), Daniel (4) and Caleb (1), has, for the past four and a half years, been the curate in St Nicholas’ Parish, Carrickfergus in the diocese of Connor.

It was his rector, the Venerable George Davison, who preached at the institution service, choosing to focus on his pastoral sensitivity, engaging sermons and passion for youth work as evidence of the sort of rector the people of Derg and Termonamongan had just appointed.
