I am a Distinctive Deacon Ordinand based at St Andrew’s Church in Cherry Hinton where I am also Director of Music & Communications. The heart of my calling is inspired by the Ordinal which has deacons ministering in the pattern of Jesus “who washed his disciples’ feet”. Jesus’ example of “great love” is one to be endlessly improvised upon, specifically transforming the edge places, within and without the church, into places of welcome. My masters dissertation was on the distinctive diaconate in the Church of England and I am currently continuing this research as a PhD student a Darwin College, University of Cambridge.
