Nancy Phillips
Nancy has been an Anglican for most of her life. She visits parishes all over the diocese, accompanying her spouse, Donald, Bishop of Rupert’s Land. Nancy is nearing completion of a formation program for Spiritual Direction. A love of prayer and song accompany her daily quest to find more of the holiness of God in the midst of the ordinary stuff of life. In her “spare time”, Nancy works (full time) as an Occupational Health Nurse with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. For over 20 years she has been involved in presenting at conferences and workshops on worship, prayer life, personal wholeness and marriage relationships. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in adult education (Voc. Tech. Ed.) from the University of Regina. She and her husband have two adult sons.
