I am an Anglican priest and theologian.
My doctoral research focused on reconciliation in the Church. Published title: By One Spirit: Reconciliation and Renewal in Anglican Life. Peter Lang (2009)
Before my time at Cambridge and my ordination in 2002, I was an established painter with successful solo exhibitions in London.
I have been chaplain in both Cambridge and Cardiff universities. I am a trustee of Modern Church and a convenor of the Modern Church Forum.
I am a published author. My books focus on Christian spirituality and how to live prayerfully in the world of today.
I offer individually accompanied retreats, either residential in rural Wales, or online. In addition to retreats I offer an ongoing mentoring service in which I can meet with people online to help them deepen their life of faith and their relationship with Jesus Christ.
