Reflections from a parish priest, dad and so-called theologian, living on an urban 'outer estate' in the West Midlands, on day-to-day life, faith, 'community', politics... and whatever else happens to turn up!

Firs & Bromford Estate, East Birmingham, West Midlands, United Kingdom
Since September 2010 I've been Anglican priest ('Vicar' to the rest of the world) for the parish of Hodge Hill, East Birmingham. Among other things, that means being 'present' around the place, making friends, listening lots, helping others reflect, and nurturing a church community that is committed to 'growing loving community with all our neighbours'. In 2017 I finished a PhD developing a 'radically receptive' political theology / missiology in the urban margins (now published as 'Interrupting the Church's Flow') and in 2020 I co-wrote 'Being Interrupted: Re-imagining the Church's Mission from the Outside, In' with Ruth Harley (SCM Press). I'm continuing to write, and also do bits of facilitating, speaking and listening in the wider world beyond Hodge Hill.
