Brought up in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, Nick Fawcett served as a Baptist minister for 13 years, and as a chaplain with TocH for 3, before deciding to focus on writing and editing, which he continues with today.
Ray Simpson’s daily prayer tweet @praycelticdaily profiles him as A Celtic New Monastic for Tomorrow's World. He is the Founding Guardian of the international Community of Aidan and Hilda (a dispersed inter-church movement which is also an Acknowledged Anglican Community).
Since ordination, nearly 40 years ago, John has been a parish priest; Senior Selection Secretary at Church House, Westminster; Director of Ordinands, and Canon at Southwark Cathedral.
Each of the 235 articles provide both background information as well as biblical and spiritual guidance in a thoughtful and balanced way. They are not intended to give final answers to the problems but seek to act as a stimulus to further and better informed reflection. This book does not shy away from what is sensitive and even controversial. Articles range from the Abuse of Children to Racism, from Divorce to the Arms Trade.
