I am an only child, born in 1950 in Andover, Hants. to parents who were both Christian ministers. I made a commitment to faith at the age of seven, was baptised as a teenager, and lived in various towns and cities throughout West Yorkshire, Scotland and the West Midlands. My early working life comprised a succession of local government posts, warehouse work, a chartered surveyor’s practice and, following a period of unemployment, a stint in a building society. In the mid 1970s I felt I needed to do something about an increasing sense of being called to the ordained ministry, and offered myself for the ministry of the United Reformed Church. After four years of training, and ordination in 1980, I have served in a variety of urban, suburban, market town and inner city settings in Lincoln, Telford, and Luton and Dunstable, as well as in a national church post, based in London. Since September 2009, I have been the named minister in a new shared-church arrangement between Trinity in Knebworth and Stevenage United Reformed Church. I believe that everyone is on a faith journey (not just the ‘paid-up’ church folk, calling themselves God’s people!). This means we are always discovering new things, not just about ourselves, but about what God is doing in our world. The invitation is to ‘get involved! This is where we can be ‘Good News’ for our communities, with everyone’s gifts and abilities helping to make a difference where we are.
