About me
(Revd) Dr Tim Gibson BA (Hons), MA, PhD
I've worked as a journalist and copywriter since my teens, and now run a Somerset-based copywriting and PR agency working for clients including The Daily Telegraph, Volvo Car UK, KPMG, Exmoor National Park Authority, and Connect Group PLC. I've taught in various universities, including Exeter and King's College, London, and have a profile of publications and conference presentations in the fields of ethics, philosophy, theology, culture and politics. I also serve as communications director of John Wainwright & Company Ltd, one of the UK's largest independent quarry and asphalt companies.
I am an Anglican priest, and write about my experiences of parish ministry in rural Somerset, as well as the role of the Church in the 21st century.
