Founding Guardian

Ray Simpson

For many years Ray was the Community's sole guardian, handling its development, exercising oversight and writing prolifically on a range of topics, often related to the Celtic Churches, but also exploring models of how Christian spirituality may better express itself in the future.

He is now officially retired from that role, but he is still writing books and traveling the world speaking on these topics!
