I became a Christian when I was about sixteen years old and quite soon after that started to wonder if God was calling me to becoming a vicar. After working for a year I went to Oxford to study English but changed to theology. I loved it so much that I have been studying (and teaching!) it ever since.

After a year working for the Anglican mission agency USPG, I went to Wycliffe Hall in Oxford to train for ordination, where I also started studying for my DPhil in Christian Ethics. I have been passionate about economic justice since I was a teenager and was impacted by liberation theology as an undergraduate. My doctorate looked at how Martin Luther’s Reformation theology made him radically anti-capitalist, and considered what Christians can learn from this about engagement with economics today.

I am married to Gaby, who trained at St Mellitus and is priest-in-charge of a wonderful urban parish where we live in Bristol. I have served as a member of the General Synod of the Church of England and some of its bodies, including the Mission and Public Affairs Council and the Ministry Development Board. When I lived in London I loved being Assistant Minister at what is now HTB Dalgarno Way, and Chair of Governors at a diverse Church of England primary school.
