Welcome!

Thanks for visiting.

This site is very much under construction! Please get in touch if you cannot find what you are looking for.

I’ve always been involved in a wide range of issues and concerns so I hope that you find something here which is of service to you. The last fifteen years I have been the Area Bishop of Bradwell which means that I serve an extremely varied region of South Essex within the Church of England Diocese of Chelmsford. I am also Chair of the Church of England’s Urban Strategy Consultative Group and of the ecumenical National Estate Churches Network.

Some of my interests are listed to the left, so just click away. If in doubt, contact me by clicking on my photograph and I will do my best to be of service. If you wish to purchase any of my own publications or those related to housing estate ministry we will be happy to post them to you.

More recently I have enjoyed offering “An Audience with the Bishop” – an entertainment with guitar and stories (and a Q & A break) – but the diary is busy so please book well ahead. Download poster and guidelines for holding an event on the Whats New page.

I hope you enjoy this site – and please let me have recommendations for its improvement.

God Bless!
