Angela Veronica Isabel Berners-Wilson (born 1954) is a Church of England priest and chaplain . She is considered to be the first woman to be ordained as a priest in the Church of England. She was chaplain at the University of Bath from 2004 to 2016, and is now rector of a multi-church benefice .
Early life and education [ edit ]
Berners-Wilson was born in 1954. She studied divinity at the University of St Andrews , graduating with a Master of Theology (MTheol) degree in 1976.[1] Although its name suggests otherwise, the MTheol from St Andrews is an undergraduate degree .[2] In 1977, she entered Cranmer Hall, Durham , an Anglican theological college in the Open Evangelical tradition , to train for ministry.[1]
Ordained ministry [ edit ]
Berners-Wilson was made a deaconess in 1979. From 1979 to 1982, she was deaconess of Christ Church, Southgate in the Diocese of London . From 1982 to 1984, she served as deaconess at St Marylebone Parish Church , also in the diocese of London. Then began more than a decade as a university chaplain : at Thames Polytechnic from 1984 to 1991, and at the University of Bristol from 1991 to 1995.[1]
Berners-Wilson was ordained in the Church of England as a deacon in 1987; the first year the C of E ordained women to the diaconate.[1] She was ordained a priest on 12 March 1994. Due to her surname being alphabetically first in the list of the first 32 women ordained to the priesthood , she is considered the first woman to be ordained a priest in the C of E.[3] The officiating bishop speculated that it would be 10 years before the first woman was appointed as a bishop.[4] [failed verification ]
Berners-Wilson was appointed chaplain to the University of Bath in May 2004.[5] In February 2009 she was appointed a prebendary of Wells Cathedral .[6] [7] Sponsored by the Diocese of Bath and Wells , the University of Bath and the United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel , she had a month's sabbatical in China in June 2008.[8] In 2016, she left the University of Bath, having been appointed rector of the Quantock Towers benefice.[1]
Personal life [ edit ]
Her father was the rector of the rural parish of Frant in East Sussex.[9] [10] She married solicitor Andrew Sillett on 19 May 1984.[11]
