Last Thursday, we were visited by the Bishop of Dorking Rt. Revd Dr Jo Bailey-Wells.
Jo gave us a very entertaining talk about her connection with Rotary, which goes back to her time at Cambridge University, she studied at Corpus Christi College. She was offered the opportunity of a Rotary Scholarship, which meant that she could study with all expenses paid for one year, provided she came back.
She volunteered to go to different parts of Africa to be involved in global developments and to try and re-address the balance of world debt and world power.
When she came back to UK, she was invited to attend a college in Minnesota USA. It was here that she found he calling to serve God.
She is married to Sam Wells who is the vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields in central London. They live in Guildford.
She also talked about her time when she served as Chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby
