Minister – June 2018 – Page 2

Something about our background

For the past 9 years we (my wife Frances and I) have been active in our local church at Allesley Park and Whoberley, Coventry, where I served as an SSM curate (Self Supporting Minister). I grew up in Glasgow and my first job was in London, where I met and married Frances, who grew up in a village in Essex. We have two children and three grandchildren. For 23 years I was a Free Church minister and I have re-engaged in the business world since 2001, relocating to Coventry in 2008. I worked for the energy company E.on. This has brought me further understanding and experience of the world of work and what pressures people face in the 21st century.
During this time, God has been gradually moving me back into church ministry within the Anglican Church. I was ordained Deacon in 2015 and priest in 2016. Frances has been a Teaching Assistant in Tile Hill, Coventry for the past 9 years.
The gospel is for all ages including young families and I am particularly aware of the importance of drawing alongside those of more mature years.
We are looking forward to meeting you all and serving God in partnership with the churches of both Arley and Ansley!
