CHRISTIANITY from the MARGINS

About Me & This Blog

Christianity From The Margins is a platform for thought-provoking reflections on faith and spirituality. My goal is to provide insights that can be applied to everyday life and encourage deeper engagement with Christian teachings.

I was initially a Presbyterian Minister, then transferred to the Moravian Church. Before retiring, over the years I served as a Minister of 5 congregations, covering both rural and urban parishes in Northern Ireland.

I am now a Priest within the Catholic-Epsicopal Church and retain my membership of the Order of Ecumenical Franciscans and the Society of Ordained Scientists. My interests are eclectic but focus very much on social justice and mental health advocacy.

I have degrees in Marine Biology, Business Management, Immunology, Theology, Divinity, and Philosophy & Mental Health. I also hold Professional Diplomas in Logotherapy & Existential Analysis, Advanced Jungian Psychology, and Jungian Dream Analysis.

In the past I have held positions including Research & Development Manager, Learning & Service Innovation Manager, Animal Health Economist, Chief Examiner, and Managing Director. I have lived and worked in Scotland, Ireland, Norway and New Zealand.

I bring that mix of education and work experience to bear on my worldview and to constantly look for new avenues of thought and perspective.

I am currently a Psychotherapist in private practice and a Lecturer.

My posts will likely be sporadic!

May you feel the presence of God in all that you do.

Rev. Dr. Scott Peddie
