Alan Franks
The Vicarage, Ambridge
Born 1960
(John Telfer)
A former accountant who worked as a non-stipendary minister in Nottingham, Alan was appointed vicar of Ambridge, Penny Hassett, Darrington and Edgeley in June 2003. Alan's wife Catherine died of breast cancer in 1995, so his bonds with his daughter Amy are immensely strong. Alan believes in living out his Christianity through his everyday actions, and sometimes his passionate convictions can make him less than diplomatic. Many parishioners thought him unwise when he took a heroin addict into his home, and there was little support for his bid to set up a homeless hostel in the area. But, while Alan's heart can rule his head, he is widely admired for his principles. He cuts an unconventional figure zooming around the county on his motorbike, and has formed a strong relationship with Usha Gupta. |
