A to Z of interviews

Revd Richard Coles People come to work in the Church of England from all walks of life - including the world of showbusiness. We tracked down ex-pop star Revd Richard Coles from The Communards at the Greenbelt festival.

John Preston Not exactly a self-explanatory job title, National Stewardship and Resources Officer, John Preston's role for the past two years, is an important position that has been specially created so the Church of England can speak on all levels about money and giving.
Cris Rogers A pioneer church pastor, Christian author and conference speaker, Cris Rogers felt called to youth ministry at the age of 17 so followed up an art foundation course in Leeds with a theology degree at Trinity College Bristol, and a masters at King's College London.
