Canon Andrew &#8216;Drew&#8217; Sheridan has been Rector at Christ Church since 2016. He grew up in nearby Carluke, so his appointment to Lanark felt very much like coming back home. Drew entered a teaching career in modern languages after graduating in Spanish and French from the University of Edinburgh. It was during his teaching career that Drew answered his sense of God&#8217;s call and began training for the Priesthood. He is also a Canon of St. Mary&#8217;s Cathedral, Glasgow and serves as Bishop&#8217;s Chaplain and the Assistant Director of Ordinands for this region. His big passion is horse riding, leading to his nickname: &#8216;The Cantering Canon&#8217; and has a young Cairn Terrier called Mollie!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\" id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-8a53e555\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"453\" height=\"453\" src=\"https:\/\/christchurchlanark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/drew-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/christchurchlanark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/drew-1.jpg 453w, https:\/\/christchurchlanark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/drew-1-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/christchurchlanark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/drew-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/christchurchlanark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/drew-1-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/christchurchlanark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/drew-1-174x174.jpg 174w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":2553,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
