Person:
Adrian Alker
is an Anglican priest. He began his ministry in Liverpool, and was then five years as Diocesan Youth Officer in Carlisle, where he got involved in Christian education. Although always of a liberal, questioning frame, a great inspiration to him over recent years has been the writing of Marcus Borg and the work of the Jesus Seminar people in the States. Borg’s acceptance of an invitation to come to St Mark’s led to the founding of St Mark’s Centre for Radical Christianity. He says that “The whole thrust of my work as a priest at St Marks was how liberal Christianity can be a real force for good in a parish context.” Adrian is currently Director of Mission Resourcing in the Anglican Diocese of Ripon and Leeds, supporting parishes to engage with contemporary issues of faith and life.
He is married to Christine, his anchor in all ways, and they have one son, John, who is director of the UK Green Building Council. Their great love is the Lake District.
