My Story<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My background includes working with careful logic, organisational structure, and human complexity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve worked in computing in London (private sector, 7 years), as a vicar in Northampton (12 years), and as Director of Ministry for the Church of England Diocese of Worcester (training, strategy and support; 8 years).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have degrees in maths (Cambridge) and theology (Durham), and a PhD connecting neuroscience, leadership and theology (Kings College London).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I love understanding more about what helps human beings flourish (and what gets in the way) – and I love helping put that into practice. For instance, I value careful thought and analysis of structure and process, and how that can help enable (or can end up constricting) spacious, imaginative, innovation, and creative, healthy individuals and relationships.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Some aspects of this are addressed in my book: Fullness of Vision, Fullness of Life: The divided brain, improvisation, and leadership in the Church<\/em> (SCM Press, 2025).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After two years of freelance work (as coach, trainer and pastoral supervisor) I am currently the Interim Chaplain at King’s College, Cambridge. I am not currently taking on new work.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I grew up in Northern Ireland, and now live in Cambridge.
I\u2019m a cellist, and I love nature, walking, and the night sky.<\/p>\n
