Assisting PriestSt. John's is fortunate, indeed, to have the services of the Reverend Canon John Andrew as an Assisting Priest. Born in England and educated at Oxford where he earned a B.A. and M.A. in Theology at Keble College, Father Andrew was ordained to the priesthood in 1957. He served as Senior Chaplain to Archbishop Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury and subsequently as Vicar and Rural Dean of Preston in Lancashire, England. During this time Father Andrew preached throughout England and the United States, including several visits to St. Thomas Church in New York City at the invitation of the then Rector, Frederick Morris. In 1972 Father Andrew was installed as the 11th rector of St. Thomas Church and served there until his retirement. He was made an Honorary Canon of New York in January 1995 shortly before his retirement, and awarded the Order of the British Empire later that same year. He returned to England, traveling and preaching for a number of years after retiring, but re-located to the United States in the late 1990s and now makes his home in New York City where he continues to serve his former parish as an Assisting Priest.
