Blyth United welcomes new pastor to pulpit
coast," he says. "It was like a whole
other world, spending three years
there. The people arc quite unique."
In 1990, Rev. Huntley relumed to
Ontario to a two-point charge in
Selby, west of Kingston.
"I fell a calling to come to the
Blyth parish and it was an added
attraction to have only one church,"
he says.
"It is my hope to make things
imore contemporary, to rejuvenate
the church and make it more lively.
I would like to see a 'youthful'
approach. This does not refer to
age, but the ability to bring energy
into the parish," says Rev. Huntley.
"I want the people to be involved
in the lives that are theirs, to use
"the gifts they have been given to
make the most of their church and
their life."
Rev. Huntley began planning
pulpit exchange with an Australian
parish while still in Selby and he
has been able to bring the project
with him. He hopes the six-month
exchange will take place next sum

Rev. Huntley is also very sports-
minded and has been involved in
several activities including cycling,
football and hockey. He hopes to
participate in hockey in the Blyth
community.
Rev. Huntley has been married
for two years to Kale, who once
taught school in Sydney, Australia.
"She is presently kept busy with
our young son Andrew, but she is
interested in employment," Rev.
Huntley hints.
Rev. Huntley also plans to
become involved in youth activities
in the church.a
