The first black woman to become a deacon in the Church of England has spoken of her desire to serve her parish as she fights to save her job and home. The Reverend Yvonne Clarke, a mother-of-three who became a deacon in March 1987, was also among the first women to be ordained when she became a priest in 1994. In the face of a battle to continue her work in the south London parish of All Saints Shirley, in Southwark Diocese, she said: “I feel no-one has consulted with me about my future here in an appropriate way.” Her current parish would disappear under plans submitted to the Church Commissioners to cut financial pressures, but she has won a small breakthrough in being allowed to make a plea at an oral hearing, her solicitors have said.
