Isabel Brislen – Synod Secretary

Appointed Synod Secretary from January 2025, with a working background in the NHS as a Clinical Psychiatric Nurse and Lecturer Practitioner, now retired. I am a Worship Leader at my local church and have more recently been in various leadership roles as a Circuit Steward, including Senior Circuit Steward and Chair of CLT Staffing Committee.

As Synod Secretary, I am looking forward to working with ordained and lay colleagues across the District, to arrange, organise and plan the bi-annual Synod meetings. I am a current member of the District Policy Committee and have recently taken up membership of the District Lay Employment Sub-committee and the District Resourcing for Mission Group.

I live in Alsager with husband Christopher and Alfie our elderly pug. We have two grown up daughters and three grandchildren. I enjoy walking, reading, the theatre especially musicals and dance, yoga, keeping fit, and playing the violin at our local Light Orchestra.
