From UAE-Christmas will be a bitter-sweet affair for Reverend Canon Stephen Wright as the Anglican chaplain draws the curtain on more than a decade of service to worshippers at Christ Church Jebel Ali.
For 11 years Rev Wright, who is married with three children, has overseen a multinational congregation.
“Our congregation ends up being quite multinational. Some of them come because it’s English language. There is a family from Madagascar that comes here because there’s no French service for their children, whereas if you were a Malayalam-language worshipper, everyone [in attendance would be] Indian.
“It doesn’t matter what denomination or sect you’re in, in our congregation we have people from all different groups.”
