Baptised at 15 and elected a Deacon at 20 in my home church I was actively involved in youth and outreach ministry complemented by eight years service as caretaker at our local primary school.

My journey as a Christian led me to join the local Anglican parish family and I served for several years on the Parochial Church Council and as a Churchwarden working in the areas of outreach, administration and community activities.

Exploring a call to full-time ministry in the church I served as Pastoral Assistant for three years in a parish on the Hertfordshire/Bedfordshire border, leading worship, preaching, conducting funeral services and also serving as the village 'lollipop man' which made some useful connections between the church and the community.

Coming to London, first to the American Church and most recently in 2003 to Bloomsbury, 'ministry' has taken many and varied forms. I initially retained my Anglican links serving as Churchwarden at St Pancras Church and I continue to serve as a Governor of a Church of England Primary School in Camden where I am currently Chair.

With the impending departure of our former Minister, I and the church here at Bloomsbury prayerfully considered my role amongst them which sees me now as Ministry Assistant.

Having helped keep a steady hand on the tiller during our interregnum I support the ministry as a member of the team keeping an ever watchful eye on the administration and operation of the building.

Living on site, I have a passion for the building to be a resource that is fully used by the community - our regular worshipping family and neighbours who live and work around us. The challenges that present themselves to engage with a wide variety of people, young and old, rich and poor, people of faith and of none, who pass through our doors daily make the ministry I offer rewarding.
