Rector of Broughton with Cransley and Mawsley, Rural Dean of Kettering & Higham deaneries, MA student, and lover of all things pink and sparkly!

Joined January 2012
So, the Masters snooker final tomorrow is between someone from Kettering & someone born in Harlow (where I was born) who grew up in Irthlingborough, which is in the deanery of Higham. As Rural Dean of Kettering & Higham, I feel duty-bound to watch the match! #dividedloyalties

Today our editor for #Theology and the Arts (Jane C. Fitzpatrick) publishes "Who’s Afraid of #Salome? A Biblical Drama that made #Opera History" https://t.co/Z081nkPqoC
