Rob; archdeacon, artist, administrator, archangel....

Rob Hardwick as Executive Archdeacon is a dream archdeacon and makes a dream team with Bishop Greg. He is thoroughly well planned, strategically shrewd and efficient; open, self-aware, humble and possessing humour and turns of phrase worthy of a man from Nottingham way. He sees the spiritual basis of his work and prays accordingly. He organised a wonderful programme for me and I was glad to be able to share several journeys with him driving me to Weyburn, to Swift Current. He shared about his six valve heart bypass, his vision for the Qu’Appelle School of Mission and Ministry, his call to Swift Current, the welcome he and Lorraine received on their arrival and in the following years.... He took up art and dispelled demons of old which had taken root following a teacher saying he couldn’t draw. Boy does he draw but what I really liked was his large painting of a grain elevator which is in St Cuthbert’s House.
