Hello! I’m Andie, the curate at St Luke’s. You can email me on Andie.Shaw@leeds.anglican.org.
I’m married to Allan and we have two children, Zach and Eliza-Lilly. I love spending time with the family in the great outdoors, taking photos, gardening, baking and creating.
I have had the privilege of teaching in Belle Isle for a number of years before childminding in Wortley. I spent many years at Christ Church Armley, where I planted a fresh expressions church. I trained at St Hild college and worked alongside the team at St Luke’s and the team at Hunslet Gathering.

I was ordained in July 2022 and have the joy of serving my curacy in Holbeck, Beeston Hill and Hunslet.

I’m Alistair the Vicar of St Luke’s. I have lived over 20 years in Leeds, but grew up in Watford and am originally from Australia. I’m currently on a period of leave till the end of October please contact a member of the other clergy in the meantime.

I am married to Sue, and we have a daughter (Shona) and son (Callum) along with their wonderful partners plus two grandchildren. We both enjoy walking the Dales, and I particularly love swimming, football (the Hornets) and anything outdoors!

We have worked in an inner-city context for many years. I did my first curacy in Bradford in Great Horton parish, before moving to Rushden in Northamptonshire where we helped plant a church. We returned to Yorkshire in 1998 where I became vicar of Christchurch, Upper Armley, Leeds. From Armley I became the Deanery Missioner before joining St Lukes in 2013.

And here’s an interview with Al from 2018
