I am an Associate Research Fellow at Spurgeon’s College; a
tutor for the Diocese of Rochester’s Foundation in Christian Ministry course;
and a volunteer lay worker for discipleship at my local church. I have
published widely on the Christian doctrine of providence (my primary research
interest), and on themes ranging from virtual reality to collecting 1980s
memorabilia.
The views expressed on this blog are my own unless otherwise
