About Me
- Doorman-Priest
- About me: I am married with two children still to fly the nest. I live in West Yorkshire. I work as a teacher of Religious studies and train student teachers. Until recently I also worked as a relief nightclub doorman. I am now a graduate of the Yorkshire Ministry Course and am enjoying exoloring my current ministry. I am a radical liberal with Continental and British Christian influences overlaid with a touch of evangelicalism. I know. It is something of a niche market. I find many Christians I meet seriously frustrating and some downright disturbing: I sometimes think I am a misanthrope. I like that in a minister.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us, we've been very blessed. I wish you well for the future and I hope Doorman-Priest will truly find peace.
Rend your heart and not your garments ... otherwise they can't be taken back for exchange after Christmas!
Will miss this blog. Thanks for all of it.
You are beloved.
So sorry to hear this. I had just found this blog and will miss it very much.
I'm sorry to hear it, too.
Cathy: E-mail me.
Agree with all!
What was done to you was cruel in the extreme and pastorally inept. I pray that one day they will have the humility to beg your forgiveness.
Tim: perhaps more to the point I have forgiven them.
"Keep your conscience clear, so that, when you are maligned, those who abuse you for your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame."
(1 Peter 3 .16)
What a loss to the church: any church.
