The Right Reverend Nicola Martin-Davis
Based in North/East Herts and Essex Borders
A nurse for 14 years (specialising in elderly rehab and Terminal Care) but after a serious back injury, she re-trained in teaching and psychology and ran Personal Development Programmes (Open University) for people who had lost confidence in themselves, specialising in Behaviour Management for 14 years with adult offenders and excluded secondary school pupils. Nicola worked as a p/t writer for many years and in the late 80's she trained with the Roman Catholic 'Bethany' Bereavement Group. Having left secular work for three years, her ministry focuses on caring for the bereaved and the socially isolated. Nicola was ordained in 2001 and her Community of St Bernadette (a non denominational community within the ECC+C) founded three years ago, is growing with God's Grace. Support and help from other clergy including the wisdom of Father Andrew Gentry (ECCC), +Charles Michael (OOCC) and his wife, +Jack (OFC), is invaluable. All of whom can be accessed via the contact page for spiritual and emotional support.
+Nicola is the lead cleric for the ECC+C
