The Bishop of London, the Rt Revd & Rt Hon Richard Chartres KCVO, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cIn his many publications and in his teaching in St Mellitus College, Graham has demonstrated a generous orthodoxy which combines depth with clarity. He has continually combined teaching with pastoral care for those preparing for parochial and other ministries. His whole ministry in a sense has been in support of the \u201d\u02dclocal church\u2019 for which he has a passion. As Area Bishop he will be able to develop this theme in his ministry as he serves the remarkably diverse Christian communities in West London.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
Graham trained for ordination at Wycliffe Hall, was a curate in Exeter, later returning to Wycliffe as a tutor in Historical Theology and eventually becoming Vice Principal. In 2005, he helped found St Paul\u2019s Theological Centre, which is now part of St Mellitus College. Graham is the author of many articles and several books, most recently, \u201d\u02dcThe Widening Circle \u201d\u201c Priesthood as God\u2019s way of Blessing the World\u2019, published in 2014. He is married to Janet and has two grown-up children.<\/p>\n
