Notes for the Editors
After working in retail management and prison welfare Canon Nicholas Frayling (aged 58) served his first curacy in Peckham, Southwark, from 1971 to 1974. From 1974 until 1983 he was Vicar at All Saints, Tooting Graveney in Southwark Diocese. From 1983 until 1987 he was Canon Residentiary and Precentor at Liverpool Cathedral. Since 1987 he has been Rector, subsequently Team Rector, of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas the ancient city parish of Liverpool. He was made an Honorary Canon of Liverpool Cathedral in 1989.
Canon Frayling has a long standing involvement in ecumenical and inter-faith relations, and has developed a wide-ranging ministry of reconciliation; as part of the latter he published a well received book ‘Pardon and Peace’ - a reflection on the making of peace in Ireland - in 1996. He has played an active part in civic affairs in Liverpool, and is keen to build on the church’s engagement with those who are marginalised and unheard.
He currently chairs the BBC local Religious Advisory Panel for Merseyside and the Welfare Organisations Committee of Liverpool Council of voluntary service, numbering over 100 agencies active in the fields of health and social welfare.
Canon Frayling is an accomplished musician with a keen interest in the Arts. This runs in the family: his brother, Sir Christopher Frayling, is Rector of the Royal College of Art and Chairman of the Design Council. Canon Frayling is unmarried.
