Who we are
‘The community of Christ at the heart of the community’
We believe that we are called to live our Christian faith within the midst of this community and in the midst of this world, transforming it in love while we ourselves are transformed.
We believe that our lives, including our time, talents and resources are gifts given to us by God and we are called to use them with grace and wisdom.
We believe that joining together in worship and fellowship strengthens the bonds of love between us and follows Christ’s example of offering and receiving hospitality.
We believe that the Christian love that unites us is strong enough and humble enough to encompass a wide variety of theological, ecclesiastical, social and political views.
We believe that God has called us to heed the promptings of the Spirit of Holiness to create a community of grace within this community, one that will shine like a beacon of hope and light on the shores of the Firth of Forth.
‘Faith, hope and love abide, and the greatest of these is love.’

Leader Bio:
I grew up in Williamsville, New York (near Niagara Falls) and attended Williamsville South High School. After I gained a BA in History from Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts I held a variety of posts under the auspices of the national church: I worked with the homeless in Portland, Oregon for a year; I taught in China for two years; and I then worked with refugees in Buffalo.
I moved to the UK in 1991 to be with my British fiancée whom I met in China. After working at Hewlett Packard in Bristol for a year, we travelled to Edinburgh. After gaining a First in a Hebrew/Old Testament BD I did a PhD on Second Isaiah. I was ordained and inducted into St. Philip’s in 2003 and we became Portobello and Joppa Parish Church after a three way union in 2014.
