Role
I support the voluntary membership movement of the Iona Community, acting as its public representative, offering theological direction and pastoral support. I also offer programme delivery and worship leadership, and support the strategic development of the charity.
Biography
Born and brought up in Scotland, with stints in Glasgow, Iona, Stirling, South India, Aberdeen, Germany, Amsterdam and Edinburgh, I now live in Cumbria with views of the northern fells and Ullswater (I enjoy swimming there as much as I can!).
I volunteer with Place for Hope as a Practitioner/ Mediator, having spent time training and working as a mediator in faith-based conflict. I’ve also edited a magazine, led the ‘Living Spirituality Network’, worked with global student Christian movements and been a Congregational Facilitator.
I am a Church of Scotland minister and a Quaker, and enjoy paddling a canoe with Nick and our family.
What makes me laugh out loud is political satire. What moves me at my deepest level is sitting outside round an open fire with good friends and fine nourishment, listening and talking and laughing together.
