Jim's Story
Jim worked as a Youth Trainer , teaching young people on YTS schemes how to use computers.
After doing this for a few years he somehow ended up studying theology and became an ordained minister, more to his suprise than anyone elses!
Jim continued in local pastoral ministry, with an emphasis on reaching out to those on the margins, placing an importance on children's and family ministry.
Jim has always had a love for, and a way with words. His songwriting came out of necessity, more than anything else and this grew to become the main part of his working life.
Over the next 25 years, Jim toured the UK and abroad with his unique brand of music shows.
During this time working as a professional songwriter and performer he produced over ten albums.
On this crazy journey he also mastered the skills of escapology and the highlight of some of his shows was escaping from a padlocked trunk, in handcuffs and a straightjacket!
Jim pioneered the use of innovative technology, animations, puppets , juggling and gospel illusions to communicate a relevant and meaningful presentation of a simple message, "You are unique, you are loved, there is a reason you are here"
From Sole to Soul
After three decades on the road in itinerant and local ministry, I took a hiatus.
This fifth decade has been about nurturing a way of life that involves prayer, reflection, and discernment to create a relationship with the Divine and take action for the greater good. I am learning to live the questions: How can I be in the deepening now of the present moment and excessively gentle with my soul?
Today, I travel on these Pilgrim Paths to try to be a 'contemplative in action,' offering retreats and workshops using and providing Labyrinths, SoulCollage®, and Ignatian spirituality to help individuals and groups.
Gently guiding people from all backgrounds to help them discover a deeper connection and nourishment for listening to their life.
Jim is an active companion of the Northumbria Community.
A Veriditas advanced Labyrinth and SoulCollage® facilitator and trained in Ignatian spiritual accompaniment,
