Ministry
James is working to train leadership in the diocese of Chile by teaching theology at the Centro de Estudios Pastorales in Santiago de Chile. The CEP was started in March 2003 at the request of Bishop Tito Zavala, and has a Chilean principle, César Guzmán. There are 100 Anglican congregations in Chile, but only 33 ordained clergy.

Call
James has been interested in serving the church through theological education since he was an undergraduate at Durham University, UK, where his vicar encouraged him to consider taking his theological training beyond an undergraduate degree. He has an MPhil and a PhD from Cambridge University, UK and was the Scholar in Residence at RTS Orlando, FL in 2005. He was considering working in France, Spain or Portugal when SAMS-UK suggested that he think of Chile.

Prayer Challenges
James needs prayer as he prepares classes for his students and develops relationships
