Early life and education
Henderson was born on 23 July 1954 to Ian and Susan Henderson.[3] He was educated at Radley College, an all-boys public school in Oxfordshire.[3] He studied theology at Keble College, Oxford, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1976;[3][2] as per tradition, his BA was promoted to a Master of Arts (MA (Oxon)) degree in 1981.[2] In 1977, he entered Ridley Hall, Cambridge, an Anglican theological college, and spent two years training for ordained ministry.[2]
Ordained ministry
Henderson was made a deacon in the Church of England at Michaelmas 1979 (30 September), by Gerald Ellison, Bishop of London, at St Paul's Cathedral,[4] and ordained a priest the Michaelmas following (28 September 1980), by Jim Thompson, Bishop of Stepney, in his title church.[5] He then served his three-year title post as assistant curate at St Mary's, Islington, London, one year into which he was ordained a priest. His first incumbency was as vicar of Emmanuel and St Mary-in-the-Castle, Hastings, East Sussex from 1983 until he became vicar of Claygate (Holy Trinity), Surrey in 1992.[6]
While at Claygate, Henderson served as rural dean for Emly deanery from 1996 until 2001 and was made an honorary canon of Guildford Cathedral in 2001. In 2005, he was appointed Archdeacon of Dorking.[6]
