I am here for Friends

About Me

Hi,Welcome to MySpace!:I'm Greg.I grew up in the north of England and became a Christian at the age of 11 and felt a call to ordination from the age of 15.I went to University @ London,Cambridge and Oxford and despite being tempted to go into politics, worked as a school teacher for a year before getting ordained as an Anglican priest in 1996.Since then I have worked as a curate,a prison chaplain ,a lecturer at a theological college and a university chaplain. In September 06 I moved to Cornwall, the most beautiful (see slides)and remote county in England to spend time in writing and research.I am licenced by the Bishop of Truro to the diocese under retired clergy!Myspace Graphics
