A CURATE has given a media interview on a Christian television that reaches out to the Pakistani community. The Revd Sally Baily, from St Mary's Church in Great Chesham in Buckinghamshire, was interviewed by Gateway Television last month.
Sally is married to Hammad Baily, a Pakistani musician and her dissertation during her MA in theology was a study of cultural factors leading to the fragmentation and disunity of Christian Churches in Youhanabad, Pakistan.
Her background before ordination includes an 18 year career at the London Stock Exchange and six years of music ministry with the band Voice for Jesus, led by her husband Hammad Baily.
They have released six albums and toured extensively in Pakistan to encourage and uplift Christian communities. "The interview went well," says Sally.
"It was interesting for them to have a British woman with insight into Pakistani culture.
It was great to be able to talk about my research and to encourage people to know that there is support and to encourage people to pray for people in Pakistan. "Following her dissertation, Sally aims to get Pakistani leaders together so that she can share her finding and help them redefine what brings honour and respect so some of the issues within particular cultures can be overcome.
Sally is looking forward to getting involved with the Pakistani community in Chesham.
