Biography
I am a Curate at St Mark's Utley, Ordained on the 1st of July 2007. I am also a practising accountant trying to live out my ministry in the workplace for the other half of my working week.
The idea for this blog arose out of others requests for me to share my thoughts, feelings and explorations while in training for Ordination.
I live in a village in the Yorkshire Pennines with my wife and two young children.
