Fr Ken is back on TV’s Place in the Sun

Reverend Ken Gabbadon, friend and visiting preacher at St Andrew’s in recent months, who is based in Larnaca, will once again feature in the UK Channel 4 programme ‘A Place in the Sun’, broadcasting tomorrow (18 March) at 1800 (UK time).

Fr Ken first featured on the programme in 2021, in his search for a home (in the sun) after retiring from work as a prison chaplain – a role he combined with parish appointments in Manchester (where he worked with Fr Alec on providing Racial Justice Training for the clergy of the Diocese) and Leeds.

Now with a PtO in Cyprus, Ken regularly ministers in local parishes, particularly the student chaplaincy of St Mark Famagusta.
