Father Ainsley Swift
Fr Ainsley is the vicar in charge of Holy Trinity. He was born in Liverpool into a Plymouth Brethren family and he came to make the faith his own in his mid-teens in the Brethren.
Initially, he trained to be a teacher at St Katherine’s College in Liverpool and it was during this time that he became an Anglican, worshipping in a parish which was influenced by the Charismatic Renewal movement. However, he discovered a vocation for community development work.
As a community development worker he went through a radical rethink of his faith as he worked alongside some of the poorest communities in Western Europe.
He trained for ordination at Ripon College in Cuddesdon outside Oxford. He
is married to Jane and he has five children.
"I believe that the Christian faith holds a life giving message of hope and transformation and long to see that faith worked out in our community here in Windsor."
