Stephen Mitchell is a retired Anglican priest and founder member of the Sea of Faith network. He helped organise its first conference and was the first Steering Committee chair. He’s always seen the network as common ground between atheists, agnostics and people of faith. Even the most fundamental of believers will acknowledge the human and creative side of faith. He’s explored and worked out his faith through writing a few books – Agenda for Faith, God in Bath, Past Perfect – and a recently created blog www.canonfodder.co. Before becoming a priest he taught music and he continues to arrange, compose and make music in retirement. As a priest he ministered in schools, cathedrals, and village churches. He recently rejoined the Steering Committee and is keen to see the network grow through the enthusiasm of its new members, and the development of its impressive website, magazine and educational activities.
