Born in Bath. Studied theology and was ordained as a Methodist Minister and have worked in Port Talbot, East London, Bradford and Milton Keynes.

My time in London included working with Homeless People, an experience which reshaped my life. Always engaged with social and political issues, I was involved in projects with emerging Black Churches, Community and Race Relations, Homelessness, Alcoholism, and was a founding member of Crisis at Christmas (Crisis) and CHAR – the then national campaign for Single Homeless People.

Working in teams marked the 70s and 80s for me and I enjoyed the chemistry of creative people interacting. The Bow Mission team had a particular vitality and a willingness to take risks. Amid the mistakes some remarkable things occurred. The initiatives taken at the Bruce Road Church led to a chain of events which transformed one forgotten corner of Bow. It also transformed me, in that I innocently joined a woodcarving class and immediately fell in love with wood and woodcarving.

My last job was as an ecumenical City Centre Chaplain in Milton Keynes. What a delight that was. Upon retirement (2001), my first task was to build a carving studio in the garden of our new home.

My previous website has its own Bonhoeffer page. This has moved to it own site – www.bonhoeffer-uk.com.
