The Rev'd Molly Boot is an Assistant Curate; who was ordained as a Deacon in June 2023 and placed in our benefice as part of their ongoing training to become a fully fledged priest.
Molly grew up in East Sussex in a tiny village near the sea, with brilliant parents, a younger sibling, and two dogs. After some time travelling in Tanzania, they studied theology and medieval church history in Oxford, where they became interested in the late-medieval Christian mystics
(which they admit is a bit obscure!) and is currently writing a book about how those texts might help us reflect on our life and faith in the here-and-now.
Molly is a trustee of the
Greenbelt Festival and shares its passion for faith, arts and justice. They're also a trustee of the
British Trust for Tantur, a charity that supports folks in the UK to visit the Tantur Ecumenical Institute in Jerusalem, where Molly spent some time as an undergraduate.
Outside of church life, Molly sings and plays the violin, loves swimming, and spending whatever time they can with their partner, Hannah, and their dog, Alfie.
