The UPA network is run on an informal basis by those who wanted to help ! At the moment four people are principally involved;
Stuart is minister of Buttershaw Baptist Church in Bradford, West Yorkshire, where he has ministered for 16 years with his wife Liz. The Church has grown and changed over that period. He has a special interest in teaching in a non-book culture and the use of media in worship. He has three children, loves Rugby Union (not popular in the North), science fiction, computers, curry and going to the gym (well he goes to one, anyway !).
He can be contacted on Stuart Gregg (remove the extra text from the 'To' line).
Rev Morris Rodham has been vicar of St Mary's, Leamington , for over 9 years. The church is now growing across all age-ranges and backgrounds. St Mary's has a particular focus on Isaiah 61 ministry to the poor and disadvantaged in their community. Morris is one of the hosts of the New Wine UPA networks. He is married with 4 children, and is a keen hockey player, CEROC dancer, and mountain walker. He can be contacted on Morris Rodham (remove the extra text from the 'To' line).
Andy was born in Nottingham and raised within a non-conformist family before falling amongst Anglicans. Before ordination, Andy qualified as a Chartered Mechanical Engineer, working in the motor industry for Ford and then as a management consultant for Coopers & Lybrand. He trained for ordination at St John's Nottingham and served a curacy in Sparkhill, Birmingham before becoming vicar of Aston Parish Church in September 2002. Since September 2005 he has also been responsible for St James Church, Aston and St Matthew's Church, Nechells. Andy enjoys training leaders and helping people develop the gifts that God has given them. He is especially interested in helping people relate their Christian faith to their everyday work. Andy is married to Ricky, an inner city GP, and they have two lively children: Beth and Matty. He enjoys good food, wine, swimming, skiing and watching football (even at Villa Park!). He also enjoys spending time with his family (who wrote this with him!).
