Location Sarasota, FL, United States
Introduction I am from a blue collar background in Bristol, England, and was educated in the days of the 11+ system. I am one of nine children. My eight siblings live in England. After school I was first a banker; then a seminarian; then an Episcopal Priest. I trained for ordained ministry at St. John's College, Nottingham, U.K; and the University of Nottingham from which I was graduated with the degree Bachelor in Theology. I had 30 years of parish ministry in Massachusetts. (Fitchburg, Chicopee, Pittsfield and Cambridge). Now retired, I live in Sarasota, FL. My mantra: - "There is no secular world". NB Since I began this blog three of my eight siblings have died.
