Preacher Helen Webster, of Lumbutts Methodist Church in Todmorden, has been accepted for a foundation course for the Methodist ministry after unanimous backing from the churches in the local circuit.
The course, in Manchester, is due to start in September and her voluntary work with the Lumbutts Campaigners and her year as a Christian volunteer in Ethiopia, as well as her role as a local preacher have prepared the way for the course.
