Revd Canon Carol Starkey
My name is Rev Carol Starkey, born & raised in the city of Kimberley, Northern Cape.
I was married to my husband, Edmond & three children were born from this marriage. Sadly, I was widowed in 2015, when my husband died of cancer.
Although many years ago, I studied TEEC, obtaining a Certificate in Theology, I was only ordained into the Diaconate in 2008 & Priested in 2009. This was during the tenure of retired Bishop Oswald PP Swartz.

When Bishop Oswald retired in 2019, I was appointed as the Vicar General ( during the Covid pandemic );
I was licensed as Honorary Provincial Canon by the Archbishop, during my tenure as VG;
Bishop Brian was transferred to Kimberley in 2020 & I retired in 2021. I was based at the Cathedral & received & received a PTO License;
On 15th May 2023, I arrived in Plett, to minister in the Parish of Formosa, as an assistant Priest.
I thank Bishop-elect Edwin Pockpass & VG Jerome Prins, for this opportunity to minister in this part of God’s vineyard!
