Jonathan Croucher joins us in February 2008 as an honorary curate. He says

Yvette and I grew up, and met at school, in Essex. We are both lawyers by training. Yvette works three days a week for an American law firm, now doing training and pro bono work most of the time. Having been a partner in my firm's employment practice, I moved into management five years ago and am now "Practice Director" at Taylor Wessing - it's a combination of the Director of HR role I have held for the last four years and a general management role.

We have four children - Bethany who is seven, twins Nathaniel and Benjamin who are five, and Isaac who is four. The three older children are at All Saints school and Isaac is currently a part time intern at the Montessori nursery behind St Margaret's. We have just about survived having four children under three, although I have considerably less, and greyer, hair than I did when we started.

I trained for ordination with the South East Institute for Theological Education (SEITE), which is our local non-residential training course. It draws ordinands from Southwark, Rochester and Canterbury dioceses, along with an assorted collection of Methodist and URC trainee-ministers. I was ordained in 2004.
Up to that time we had worshipped as a family together at St John's Blackheath for ten years, but moved to Good Shepherd with St Peter in Lee after my ordination..

We enjoy spending time together as a family. Yvette is learning to play the guitar, is a fantastic organiser and pretty much wonderful at whatever she puts her hand to (especially cakes...). I enjoy playing the piano and singing, and discreetly follow the successes of West Ham United.

[Hopefully Charlton Supporters will forgive this aberration - after all there's a lot to be discreet about. Ed]
