In this episode I'm delighted to welcome the Reverend Ainsley Swift , Vicar of St Michael’s Church, Bray, England, to the show.
Growing up in Penny Lane Liverpool, (Made famous by The Beatles!), Ainsley started his work as teacher and took a keen interest in community development work working in and around the docklands area of Liverpool. More recently Ainsley was nominated an honorary Canon for distinguished service to the Church of England.
Our conversation includes;
- What life was like for Ainsley growing up in 1960s Liverpool and accompanying his sister to George Harrisons house
- The history and meaning of 'The Vicar of Bray' satirical description
- His 'Calling' to the Church
- Differing religions and their place
- The dynamic of Prayer and silent contemplation
- Advice for those contemplating a career in the Church
I hope you enjoy this episode. It covers many more topics than those above and I think it will be of interest to both members of the Church and those curious to discover more.
