TSG

Those of you using Facebook will have seen Talisker Stuart-Gordon's announcement of her imminent departure from CH where she has been teaching classics, performing house duties in Peele B and running the RAF section of the CCF. For those who have not, I reproduce part of her text here:
"As many of you probably already know, I am leaving Christ’s Hospital at the end of this academic year to go to Cuddesdon theological college at Oxford to study theology for the next three years, after which I shall end up in a dog collar (no unnecessary puns please) as a curate in a parish somewhere (hopefully within reasonable distance of London). My new address is at below …
There is however another development which I need to tell you about. You may remember that some years ago I changed my name (family rubbish, long story, don’t ask); well I’m changing it back (would you believe!) again for family reasons and will as of July be formally known as Talisker MacLeod (personal preference for Tali or Taliska, but then that’s just being fussy!) again, although if you prefer to think of me now as TSG, I really don’t mind! However, you might want to bear this in mind if you ever get around to writing to me since the poor old post man, and indeed the college, may get most confused if you put a name by which I am not commonly known in that place. Fear not, I do not ever intend to change my name again for any reason whatsoever! No matter what provocation offered by my beloved relatives! "
Tali is an immensely popular and dynamic teacher - she will be missed at CH, but will be an enormous asset to the Church which is in great need of young, charismatic priests to enter the ministry. Our thoughts and prayers go with her.
