Anne Crosthwait

“Come to me all who are wearied and burdened and I will give you rest.” (Mt11.28) In the midst of a big and busy city, in the midst of demanding and stress filled lives, Anne seeks to offer people the rest, restoration and healing that God has for us.

Although Anne entered the priesthood in mid-life she had a long and developing call to pastoral ministry. This was first expressed in raising, with her husband Hugh, four very independent and adventurous daughters. Their girls are now launched in their careers and discovering life all around the world.

Anne returned to school receiving a M.Div from Wycliffe with specialty training in pastoral counseling. She loves to engage with people in small groups, in focused times of prayer, in training programs that equip us for life, in meditation and in worship.

When Anne is not tending to soul growth you’ll find her with a paint brush in her hand, or walking the ravines, sharing meals with family and friends or exploring the undersea depths with scuba gear. She loves, yet struggles with the undersea adventure; just as in life, the call of the depths is invigorating yet challenging!
