Early life
Hollinghurst was born in 1964.[1] Her early experience of the Church of England was in the Liberal Catholic tradition.[2]
Her first career was as a youth worker in suburban Sussex and then in inner-city Nottingham.[2][3] She entered Trinity College, Bristol, an Evangelical Anglican theological college, to train for ordained ministry and graduated from the University of Bristol with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1996.[1]
Ordained ministry
Hollinghurst was ordained in the Church of England as a deacon in 1996 and as a priest in 1997.[1] From 1996 to 1999, she served her curacy at St Saviours in the Meadows, Nottingham.[3] She shared this curacy with her husband, Steve Hollinghurst, who is also a Church of England priest.[2] From 1999 to 2005, she was jointly the Anglican chaplain for the University of Derby and a chaplain of Derby Cathedral.[1] During this time, she also lectured on religion and gender in the Religious Studies Department of Derby University.[4]
In 2005, she moved to Manchester. She was appointed domestic chaplain to the Bishop of Manchester, Nigel McCulloch, and a residentiary canon of Manchester Cathedral.[2][3] She completed a Master of Studies (MSt) degree at Hughes Hall, Cambridge in 2010.[1] On 12 January 2010, she became Vicar of St Peter's Church, St Albans in the Diocese of St Albans.[5] In 2011, she was elected a member of the House of Clergy of the St Albans General Synod.[6]

Personal life
