I am a priest, Scot, cancer survivor, scientist and runner. My passion for writing is based on a need to communicate: the complimentarity of science and religion, the way that stories heals, that healing is about relationship and release, that God is with us and wants to be in relationship with us. I am interested in connecting with readers and together searching for wisdom and truth.
I am director of The Guild of Health and St Raphael, an ecumenical organisation dedicated to the Christian healing ministry and promoting healthy life. I am also involved in science and religion, both in public square communication and in academic research.
I live in London, with my husband and two crazy little boys. I love Scotland, outdoor sports and gin.

I am inspired to do so because I think engagement with our world, and with the science that describe it, is essential to finding out who we are and how to live. (less)
