Lecture Synopsis
Cancer touches the lives of nearly 1 in 3; present in all our communities. As a professional healthcare scientist, Mike has worked for decades in clinical and academic environments, developing, researching and writing about the cancer sciences in the field of Radiotherapy.
Since ordination (2013) and a ministry mainly in cathedral contexts, whilst still an active scientist, a blended spiritual approach to pastoral and professional care has emerged. Here Mike reflects personally on some of his experiences in a life of science and faith.
There is no charge for entry, donations are encouraged and everybody is welcome.
