Simon Cartwright

Website/Blog:

Simon is passionate about prayer, justice and mission. He is an ordained Anglican priest who has a particular calling to the inner city and working with the urban poor. 

Over the last 25 years, he has been involved in pioneering four new forms of church with remarkably similar characteristics: 
- all formed from a focus on prayer, 
- all formed by working with the dechurched, 
- all involved reaching out in multicultural communities,
- all involved getting people together to share food 
- and in two cases, we ended up revitalising an old church building!

 It was through this journey that Simon discovered he was increasingly monastic in his vocation, with a strong emphasis on prayer (in the cave), hospitality (in the refectory) and mission (on the road). 

At the moment, Simon works as District Mission Enabler for the Nottingham and Derby Methodist District helping churches explore mission opportunities in their local communities including establishing new church communities."
