My Christian journey began in a small village chapel on the outskirts of Sheffield, before study took me to Bath and Merseyside, then employment to SW London, Bristol and Reading, where Sandy and I lived for over twenty years whilst our family was growing up.
My ordained ministry brought me back to Bristol for a second time to serve as a presbyter (minister), where my initial appointment covered a a group of churches in the N & NW of the city and across the border in South Gloucestershire. I am now privileged to have oversight of two inner city churches: Parkway in the multicultural area of St Werburghs, and Victoria Methodist ‘Vic’ in Clifton. I’m inspired by the variety of my current responsibilities, which open up opportunities to share the message of God’s love for all, whatever our background or circumstances, and to put it into practice.
