Last autumn John took a two-month walk across the country from Hull back home to Liverpool, following the M62 corridor through the urban centres of the North, and the diary of his journey was published as Walking the M62. In this talk John reads from the book and investigates the interfaces between theology, spirituality and psychogeography.
Born in Walton Hospital, John grew up in a house on the banks of the Mersey.
A welder, draughtsman, volunteer in an outdoor pursuits centre, student, civil servant, computer programmer, Greenbelt director, community worker, and now a Church of England vicar serving Croxteth and Norris Green, Liverpool, John has always enjoyed walking in the city.
Last year he took a sabbatical where he ‘walked the M62’ and he is about to begin a MPhil titled Urban Walking in L11: Psychogeography and Theology in a White Working-Class Community.
