Brought up in Glasgow, I explored a vocation to the priesthood, before pursuing medicine. I worked as a children’s kidney specialist in Liverpool and Glasgow until retirement in 2019. I married Joyce in 1985 and have a daughter and son. Coming from different Christian traditions, Roman Catholic and Church of Scotland, we were initially drawn to the Iona Community by its ecumenical commitment, joining in 1991.
Since then, the Iona Community has fostered my commitment to justice and peace and environmental concerns. Following retirement, I have become involved in our local fair trade and zero waste shop and am privileged to support the Community through work on Council.
What makes me laugh is watching Taskmaster
What moves me at my deepest level is walking on remote Scottish beaches and hills.
