Simon Peter Iredale has had the pleasure of writing frequently for the United Methodist Publishing House. He has been a Church of England clergyman for over a quarter of a century and his ministry has included parish ministry, hospital and prison chaplaincy and, most recently, he served as a Chaplain in the Royal Air Force. Now in retirement owing to chronic illness he still lives an active life, continuing with writing projects of different kinds including poetry, making pottery and pursuing a (very) amateur interest in Blue Grass Mandolin picking. He lives with his wife in Shropshire and has two grown up children.
