Your Anglican 'Species'

Priest

Your 'Day Job'

Ordained Pioneer Minister & curate at Gloucester cathedral

What you do for fun and re-creation?

play with my kids, listen to music, surf, write, read, paint, draw, laugh with friends, enjoy a beer, ride my bicycle

What do you see as some of the biggest challenges facing Anglicans today?

something about humility and unity in diversity.

something about thinking beyond parish / next Sunday / inherited models of church, in order to be imaginative about traveling (together) to 'the new place'.

What do you see as some of the biggest opportunities for Anglicans today?

we have something to say about community, conversation, humility, hope and peace that the world is eager to hear.
or something like that...

What do you want Anglimergent to be? and what other Anglimergent resources, gatherings, activities or events would you find helpful for your ministry?

honest, humble, attentive, open, safe, passionate, eager, discerning, wise, bold and heard.

anything that gets Anglicans together and talking about what we share and how we can look to 'the other' is a good thing. gatherings are good for this, but so is online chat and sharing of music, film, liturgy.
