I have been an ordained Church of England minister for over forty years.

I began working as an assistant curate in an industrial town on the borders of Yorkshire and Lancashire and then moved to be the Vicar of an industrial village a mile down the road. I was there nine years in all. I then moved to a multi-racial, inner city parish in Bradford, West Yorkshire for another seven years. After that, I moved South to Kent to a parish inside the M25 near Dartford. I was there fourteen years. Finally, I became the Rector of two wealthy parishes near Tonbridge for nine years. I retired in 2016 and still live in Kent.
