In the military he was Director General of Army Medical Services in the rank of Major General (retired), and has served in many parts of the world and conflicts.  He was awarded the Order of St John for disaster recovery and humanitarian work. He still has a full diary of lecturing and teaching at Universities around the world, and has published many papers and taken part in many broadcasts around the globe. He has published many books.

As you can see, Alan is a medic, healing the sick; and a military man: intent on restoring order, when it is eroded or absent. We pray that Alan's gifts and experiences will help us all in OCAC to feed the hungry, heal the sick, and bring God's word to those in need.

Alan leads prayer groups and assists local churches in their assessment of candidates for serving. He was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Adrian at the OCAC Auxiliary Synod in Exeter, and serves in Gloucestershire.
