This book is the reference resource for the 2012 Lent courses at All Saints Ealing and St Martins West Acton. The focus is about making our theology of reconcilaition personal not just a matter of Christian duty. It is all too easy to pray for reconciliation for war torn countries "out there". But what about the reconciliation needed "in here"? What about the Unreconciled in our homes or on our doorsteps who feel left out, unheard, wounded or ignored? How can the local church offer the gift of Christ's reconciliation to those whose problems we are not even aware of?
I began my career at 18 selling short term insurance. Later, I discovered I could have more fun by selling words in the exciting world of advertising. I honed my craft as a copywriter and then as a creative director in the vibrant ad scene in Johannesburg, South Africa. During this time I fell in love with compelling creative ideas and their ability to shape cultures when let loose in emerging and traditional media.
But it was a call to serve God in Anglican ministry that really fired my imagination and eventually won out. I was ordained in the Diocese of Johannesburg before coming to London. I currently serve as the Vicar of St Barnabas Ealing.
During my training I completed an M.Phil in Theology and developed a keen interest in contemporary Christian spirituality, mission in a secular society and sacramental worship.
