I
was born into a Scottish religious working class home in 1938 and left school
at 15 with no educational certificates.
I became a time served Joiner and was conscripted in to the Royal Army
Medical Corp in 1959 serving in Singapore.
On Leaving the Army
in 1961 I obtained a University entrance qualification. I entered Strathclyde
University 1963 graduating with a BA in Social Science in 1965. Thereafter I
studied at the Scottish Baptist Theological College and having obtained a
Diploma in Theology in 1968 I took successive pastoral charge of Baptist
Churches in Edinburgh and Cupar. In the latter charge I also served briefly as
Hospital Chaplain.
I left the Pastoral
Ministry in 1981 and spent 13 years as a Social Worker in a Residential School
for lads in trouble with authorities. In 1994 I moved into Field Social Work
with Children and Families in Dundee. During the last three years of my working
career I worked in the city’s Social Work Access Team. I retired in 2003.
My interests include: Humanism, Altruism, Virtue, Ethics, Assisted Death, Politics, Climate Change, and Kayaking.
