I’m  a priest in the Church of England, living and working in rural parishes. I’ve been an editor of biomedical journals and a hospital chaplain in the past, as well as Rector of a busy suburban parish. I’m now back rooted in the countryside where I lived as a child and am currently working on a PhD on Place Attachment in Personal Spirituality. I’m married to an author (as yet unpublished) and have three grown-up children and currently one granddaughter. I also minister as a spiritual director, labyrinth facilitator and retreat leader, and I use textile art to enable people to develop a creative approach to life and the spiritual.
