Priest in charge

Fr Mark has served in parishes in America, England, and Wales, and for five years as a lecturer in theology at Cardiff and Oxford. He is also the author of a number of books, including his most recent book, A Pilgrimage of Paradoxes: an award-winning theological reflection on place and belonging based on an overnight walk on Cadair Idris. Besides serving as St Mary’s vicar, Fr Mark is also Canon Theologian for the Diocese, which involves (among other things) his encouraging study and reflection throughout the Diocese. He is also Chair of the Standing Doctrinal Commission for the Church in Wales.

He is an avid walker and mountain backpacker, especially when joined by his wife Sarah and their three Spaniels, Cuthbert, Humphrey, and Dexter. He has one son, Paul, who lives and works in Edinburgh.
