NEW reverend Nicky Tottle will be seeking out parishioners as she starts work at All Saints Church.

Rev Tottle, 32, has taken up a new role at the church in Church Street, High Wycombe, which will combine both "ancient and modern" duties around the town centre for the first time in its history.

She will conduct services, but as a community missioner she says she will be building relationships on foot, walking around to listen to people's problems, engage in discussion, and offer advice, while spreading Christian teaching.

She said: "When they showed me details of the job it swept me away.

"It really fitted in with previous experience, but I knew that it was something that God wanted me to do."
