I work for the NHS in mental health care. I was formerly minister of Mill Hill Chapel, Leeds. As Convenor of the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches I have a proven track record in senior charity Trustee leadership.

I’m interested in what happens next when as a culture we acknowledge that although we’ve abandoned God we haven’t found peace or freedom or anything really worthwhile to take that space. I think industrial culture is mechanistic and domineering (and as a result it is in very serious trouble), but I sense reality isn’t like that; reality flows and is endlessly creative, endlessly loving. I want to be part of that flow and help others find their way into it.

I am learning to recover some of the living links with the resources which have sustained folk for many, many generations as a non-conforming minister in the Free Christian tradition.

I’m married to Ann, an artist and designer and we have two children.

Free Christianity is a vital part of a non-creedal wisdom tradition called Unitarian which seeks to approach the sacred in participation and worship. Free Christians and Unitarians recognise that the spiritual life cannot be precisely defined but should aim to be inclusive and compassionate.

I’ ve sometimes been asked for a meditation, a prayer or longer element of a service that I’ve given, so instead of emailing them individually I ‘ve decided to blog bits and pieces here. If they are of use either privately or in a group or congregational setting I’d be delighted. I’m also going to put some sermons or addresses here too – I hope they may be of interest.
