Fr Nick thinking out loud

I'm Fr Nick and I am a parish priest / vicar in the beautiful High Weald of East Sussex in the UK. Over the last 30 years I've served a range of very different churches from extreme inner city communities to city centre cathedrals. In each place I have worked to help people go deeper in their knowledge and understanding of the Christian faith - whether that is grappling with St Mark's Gospel or discovering the great mystical traditions of Christianity and everything in between. That's not because I am looking backwards but because - as a great Christian writer once said - "those ignorant of history are victims of the latest cliché". Here at "Fr Nick thinking out loud" that's exactly what I am doing - thinking out loud about faith, values, how we live, what the Gospel has to say to our times, how we can live alive to God and open to the drawing of God's love.
