36/25 - Rev Kevin Taylor : Minister |
 Kevin is transferring from the Orpington and Chislehurst Circuit of the London District, where he has served for 5 years. He was ordained as a Presbyter on the 25th of June 2006 after serving his probationary period with the London Mission (Plumstead) Circuit. Although he trained for ministry for about 8 years until ordination, Kevin did not retire from the Metropolitan Police Service until April 2005. His final post was in charge of the Emergency Procedures section at New Scotland Yard, which covered disaster response and victim recovery. his included multi-faith work, training sessions with the military and the training of volunteer chaplains for disaster scenes. He was also a trained negotiator for sieges and suicide intervention. Kevin has qualifications in Anatomy and Physiology, Reflexology and Head Massage and his interests include running, fell walking, cycling, swimming and (fair weather!) motorcycling. He believes that it is important to keep the mind and body as active as possible if they are to function at their best. He has recently been learning to windsurf; something he has wanted to try for a long time. He reads whenever he can and as someone who has always actively studied and used various foreign languages (he has no expectation of ever becoming a mathematician or a scientist!) he has, within the last three years, been studying Italian. Kevin has a son, Stuart (30yrs), who is a police officer on a specialist firearms team and a daughter, Heather (27yrs), who is studying psychology at degree level and who funds herself by working as a fully qualified, self-employed painter and decorator.
