Ryan (Chris)

Recently retired from his umpteenth reinvention in the workforce (pastoral carer in a busy palliative unit), Chris Ryan is passionate about asylum seeker welfare, cycling, poetry and the environment. He loves to cook and believes in trusting and engaging with strangers. He adores being present, and runs a popular Christian meditation group in his parish. Retirement has afforded him ample opportunity to volunteer, to travel abroad (a son lives in Germany), to return to his beloved table tennis, and to enjoy time with his grandchildren.
