Biography

I am a Deacon in the Church of England living and working in Southwark.

I have completed an MA in Theology, Ministry and Mission, for which my Dissertation was entitled Easter Egg: A Christological Engagement with Video Games. In it, I constructed a new theological framework for engaging with video games and gaming, based on Jeremy Begbie’s christological theology of the arts and George Lindbeck’s regulae fidei understanding of the faith-experience interation.

I am also a member of the International Acadamy for the Study of Games and Religion.

Video Games & Theology

A recent piece for Young Anglican Theology exploring the role of video games and the creative imagination in theology.

Press X to Forgive

Video games are a viable space of theological reflection. The choice to forgive or condemn your brother’s killer at the end of Life is Strange: True Colors is an excellent opportunity to reflect on the nature of forgiveness.
