He also chairs the trustee board of Lighthouse (West Yorkshire) and is an Honorary Canon of Bradford Cathedral.
Revd Jonathan is married to Rebecca, and they have four adult children.
He supports Rebecca and her business partner Sue who run a leadership and coaching company.

Revd Jonathan will be licensed as the Rector of Leeds Minster by the Rt Revd Toby Howarth, Bishop of Leeds, at a service on a date to be confirmed.
Welcome Jonathan and Rebecca!
