From the Black Country to Blenheim or Tower Block to Great St Mary’s – social mobility in the Church of England The Vicar of Great St Mary’s, Canon Adrian Daffern, talked entertainingly to the Rotary Club of Cambridge on 8th January.
He started life in a Wolverhampton tower block and a one parent-family, took up the organ at his local church and went to Durham University as an organ scholar. Making a success of somewhat rough parishes in Lichfield, Stafford and Walsall led to appointment as canon of Coventry cathedral (the youngest in England) alongside Old Etonian Justin Welby. There he began to be much involved with the community of the Cross of Nails, a world-wide attempt to promote reconciliation in conflict, of which Nelson Mandela was a member. Thence to be Rector of Woodstock in Oxfordshire and Vicar of Bladon, where it was cocktails with the Duke of Marlborough. Never one to miss an opportunity, Adrian joined the cast of the radio show The Archers to play the Ambridge organ, and when he thought of removing the pews at the Woodstock church he influenced the Ambridge script to indicate how useful that would be. Called now to the church in Cambridge, it was clear why he rose through the ranks and why he will be a considerable influence on the undergraduates. Rotarian David Spreadbury |

WHY NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RYLA 2019?
Why not recommend someone in your company to take part in the Rotary Young Leaders’ Award (RYLA)? The Rotary Club of Cambridge sponsors young people (age 18-26) to take part in a RYLA course. RYLA is a Rotary program to encourage the development of young people as future community and business leaders. The courses are a week long and take place at Grafham Water Centre, near Huntingdon, in early September. Participants take part in a residential programme that includes team exercises, physical activities, personal presentations and discussion. The aim is to create a testing, but supportive, environment where they challenged both physically and mentally, encouraged to step outside their comfort zone and learn more about themselves and their potential. The RYLA course combines the finest of outdoor development activities with current best practice in leadership training. If you are interested in proposing a candidate, please contact Rotarian John Barrett (jcabarrett@aol.com)
Last year's successful candidates Jonathan Strong and Natalie Matanda sponsored by the Rotary Club of Cambridge.
