[Magdalen] My background

Sorry I have not introduced myself.
 
I think some of this is in Crockfords but here goes:
 
I was born in Germany in 1955 to an British army officer and his  Austrian 
wife. My younger brother died in 200. My sister is a very active  Christian 
in the local Roman Catholic Church.
 
I went to Charterhouse (a British public school) and then on to  Chelsea 
College University of London where in 1976 was awarded a BSc in  Chemistry 
from the University of London.
 
>From University I trained to become a patent lawyer becoming a European  
Patent Attorney in 1981 and qualifying as a Chartered Patent Attorney in  1982.
 
Married Maddy a local Swiss girl and committed Christian on 20th  March 
1982 (on my birthday!!) and we have three boys.
 
I worked in Switzerland for Sandoz AG in Switzerland from 1980 -1994  and 
became Swiss at the end of 1994.
 
Returning to the UK,  I was appointed as Head of the Group Patent  Dept of 
Reckitt and Colman ( a British multinational) from 1994 to 1999 and  retired 
as a patent attorney in 1999, as I felt the call to full time  ministry.
 
I trained at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford from 1999-2001 and was  ordained deacon 
in 2001 and priested 2002.
 
I only had one curacy - that in the Bale-Stiffkey Group (Diocese  of 
Norwich) across fifteen parishes with a Liberal Catholic training incumbent,  with 
whom I am still good friends.
 
My first incumbency was for three Benefices (in the Diocese of  Canterbury) 
on Romney Marsh including New Romney and Dymchurch where I was PiC  for 
eight parishes - and was delighted to have Roger Stokes come and see how we  
were pioneering focal ministry on the Marsh. 
 
My second incumbency was in the Diocese of Leicester where I was PiC for  
fifteen parishes in the South West Framland Benefice 
 
Since 2010 I have been Vicar of the East Marshland Benefice (five parishes) 
 in the Diocese of Ely.
 
Blessings over the Easter
Martin

Dear  Rev'd Martin,  
Thank you for your opinion.  I will not argue this consequence of Bp  
Lawrence's schismatic action with you.  It serves no creative  purpose.


Have you introduced yourself to the Pub?


Blessings to you as well.  Have a wonderful Triduum and Easter  season.
