Tricia Hillas
Tricia is the Chaplain to the Speaker of the House of Commons, and the Canon Steward and Archdeacon at Westminster Abbey. With a background in youth/community work, and social work, Tricia is exercised by the ways in which families and communities might address their divisions humanely. She believes that, in the Church, we are called to learn to deal with our own conflicts well, and with humility to share in the reconciling work of God in the world.
