Ben joined the team in June 2011. He is married to Ruth and they have two children.
Ben and Ruth moved to Manchester in 2001 when he (as a Church Army Officer) was appointed as the city centre missioner. As part of that ministry he established Sanctus1, a Fresh Expression of Church in the city centre.
He was ordained in 2008 and served his curacy at Brunswick Parish Church. He initially continued to lead Sanctus1, handing it on to a Methodist Minister in 2009. This freed him to work across the diocese as the Fresh Expressions Missioner.
He has also overseen the worship and spirituality programme at the Greenbelt Festival for the last four years.
