ドーバー名誉自由民の訃報を聞いて非常に悲しいです, マイケル・ヒントン牧師. それは名誉なことだった 2018 当時の市長のために, スー・ジョーンズ市議会議員は、数十年にわたるドーバー市への奉仕に対する町からの正式な感謝として、ヒントン牧師に巻物とフリーマンの棺を贈呈する.
Michael Hinton was inspirational teacher. His early career was in the north of England before moving to Dover in 1960 and becoming Headmaster of Dover Grammar School for Boys. に 1983 he was ordained as a priest in the Church of England, work he continued on a voluntary basis in Dover after his retirement from full time parish ministry.
He was a published writer, and is most well-known for his popular and ground breaking “100-minute Bible”. Dovorians may know him best for his many years writing the weekly “Christian Comment” column for the Dover Express.
Reverend Hinton was also deeply involved in campaigns for social justice both in the Town and more widely. He was a founder member of the local Fairtrade Group, and a supporter of Christian Aid and the Dover Foodbank.
Our condolences go to his son Chris and his wider family and friends.
