Associate Vicar:
Revd. Stephen Hunter
Stephen was ordained in June 2004 and returned to All Saints, his home parish of very many years. In fact Stephen first came to Ecclesall in 1970 to help establish a new youth initiative which went on to become one of the largest Pathfinder groups in the whole country.
As a post 50 newly ordained minister, Stephen has had a successful career in a variety of business and charitable activities serving as chairman and/or director of ventures ranging from business expansion to purchasing schemes and with organisations covering large national companies to local Sheffield firms. He has been a consultant to the Nashua Corporation of the USA and served on the board of a major UK insurance company. He was, for many years, a director of the Sheffield Diocesan Board of Finance.
Stephen now concentrates his activities locally where he is Chairman and Managing Director of Unigraph (UK) Limited, Chairman of the Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust, past Chairman of the South Yorkshire NHS Ambulance Service, and a city magistrate. He is also Chairman of Birkdale School and one of the Sheffield Church Burgesses. He serves on a local educational foundation and is a trustee of a number of charities.
Having completed his ordination training and gained a Graduate Diploma in Applied Theology to add to his M.A. in Business Management, he continues in his various business and voluntary activities as a Minister in Secular Employment. So, in addition to his part-time and unpaid role at All Saints, where he is a staff member, he also has a wider brief from the Church of England to exercise ordained ministry in the various environments he is involved in.
Stephen has been married to Anne since 1975 and they have two sons, Jonathan and Matthew, who both now live and work in London. Anne was a primary school teacher who now spends her time in such pleasurable activities as being a Home Groups Co-ordinator, helping with the Toddlers Group and being generally involved in church life.
Stephen believes that Christians need opportunities to explore what it means to have an authentic faith in our daily lives, especially in our work. He hopes to be able to help the church in Ecclesall work through those issues as he combines his ministry in the workplace with that at All Saints.
