Living and working in Beverley and surrounding villages is my third time living in beautiful Yorkshire. I studied modern languages at Leeds University and later served my first Methodist Circuit appointment in Leeds North and East. Next came Leicester Trinity Circuit.

I was raised Anglican in London where I loved singing in the church choir along with three of my siblings. Initially I worked for the Council of Churches for Britain and Ireland helping build understanding and relationships with the Church in the People’s Republic of China. Later I became a teacher of English to speakers of other languages in various places and to different ages. The call to ordained ministry kept recurring, and the Methodist Church affirmed this calling in 2005. I enjoy the variety in Methodist ministry and liberationist and contextual theologies in particular. My spouse, Diane, of over 35 years, is a grower with community supported agriculture (CSA) projects.
