Vicar Tim Goodwin

I am a devout Christian who fervently believes in the principles of inclusivity, equality, ethics, integrity, and morality. These values, which transcend the boundaries of religion, are firmly anchored in my faith in the Trinity and the salvation offered through Jesus Christ.

Beyond my religious convictions, I am a seasoned veteran of the Vietnam era, having served my country with honor and duty. As a husband, grandfather, and father, I find immeasurable joy and fulfillment in the love and connections I share with my family. In the depths of my soul, I am also an ardent admirer of art and poetry, finding solace and inspiration in their profound expressions.

However, it is the true nature of my being that compels me, like an unstoppable force, to carry the word of love, nonviolence, and justice to every corner of the world I encounter. Just as a river carves its course through the rugged terrain, my faith has etched a path for me—one of compassion, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to creating a better, more equitable world.

As a veteran, I draw upon the experiences of my past to advocate for peace and reconciliation in a world often scarred by conflict. As a family man, I am fueled by a deep sense of responsibility to instill these timeless values in my children and grandchildren, nurturing a legacy of compassion and social consciousness.

My love for art and poetry serves as a wellspring of inspiration, allowing me to connect with the human spirit on a profound level. Through the beauty and emotion of artistic expression, I find common ground with others, transcending barriers and fostering understanding.

In all these facets of my life, I carry the torch of my Christian faith as a beacon of hope. It is a faith that knows no boundaries, a faith that urges me to embrace diversity, seek justice, and extend love to all, regardless of their background or beliefs.

So, as I tread the path of life, I do so with the conviction that my true purpose lies in spreading the message of love, nonviolence, and justice—a message that transcends religious, cultural, and geographical boundaries. My mission is clear: to be an agent of positive change in a world that yearns for compassion and unity.
