A bit about me

I am a priest in the Church of England. I find I enjoy being a priest. I am not particularly interested in some of the current debates going on within the Church of England or wider Anglican Communion. This is not because I do not care, but at present they deviate from what I see as my primary goal, and incidentally the primary goal of the Church, which is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

What is this Gospel? It is that ultimately God loves people and is there for people, alongside people, and this has been especially revealed in Jesus Christ.

Why is this website so named? I have two lurchers who keep me sane, and we live on the edge of Birmingham. I like living on the edge; it suits my personality to be on the edge looking in; sometimes going into the middle but not have to stay there.

Enough for now.

    Hi 1urcher – I hope you enjoy blogging, I certainly do. I like your thought about the positiveness of living on the edge – so often this is just defined and experienced in a negative way,

    Living “on the edge” is probably a good place to be…so many want to be in the middle, and you can’t see out if you are in the middle.
    Keep blogging..
