I recently moved from Southend and Leigh Circuit in Essex. I was born in Freetown, Sierra Leone, and presently studying for my PhD on Cross-cultural leadership in the Methodist Church in Britain.

Rev Silas Wood

Silas

Silas says:
I have moved here from Shrewsbury with my wife Sue and our dog Izzy. I enjoy leading worship and believe that social justice, equality and inclusion are at the heart of a Christian life. My favourite verse is Micah 6:8* - so much so I have it as a tattoo. I also enjoy cycling, badminton, photography and reading.

* Micah 6:8 - He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
