Musings on faith, society and whatever else gets me going from one of a tradition of turbulent clerics.
I opposed the Iraq War. However, it has happened and as a result, many Iraqis have worked for Britain and its allies in roles such as translators etc. These people are now at serious risk from the death squads within Iraq. Surely, we owe a debt of honour that these people be given political asylum.

I am a 52 year old Methodist minister based in Nottingham having served as a layworker on Isle of Man and a minister in Bideford. Married to the long suffering Andrea for 22 years, we have two great children. James is 18 years old and Kaye is 16 years old. I am theologically a liberal evangelical. I believe that faith influences political judgements so I am a convinced believer that it is imperative to support the poor and the powerless and to seek to promote their interests above all others.If this puts me on the left so be it. The views on my personal blog are mine alone and do not represent those of the Methodist Church or any of the congregations that I serve.
