| Introduction | My name is Jane Stranz. I was born and brought up in Britain and am an ordained minister of the United Reformed Church, which is a small non-conformist church. For over 10 years I worked as a minister in local parishes of the Eglise Réformée de France in Dunkerque, Chambéry and Ferney-Voltaire. Since July 2002 I've been working at the World Council of Churches as the English language translator and coordinator of the language service. I'm married to Stephen Brown a journalist who works at Ecumenical News International and is currently finishing his doctorate on the churches in former East Germany and the movement that led to the fall of the Berlin wall. I live in France and each day go over the border just 500 metres away into Switzerland to work. Since 1999 I've been living with multiple sclerosis, which sounds rather noble but really means I just live in denial and inject interferon b three times a week and count myself very lucky to live in a country with a great health care system. . |
