Sister Esther is a member of the Benedictine Community at Turvey Abbey in Bedfordshire. She is co-founder and president of the British Association of Iconographers. She has undertaken many commissions for icons, and runs courses at Turvey Abbey and elsewhere. She is also attached to the Greek Catholic Melkite Parish in London. This, together with her involvement with icons and Orthodoxy, is part of the calling of her Benedictine Foundation to work and pray for the unity of Christians from both eastern and western traditions.
