Born in the 1950’s Stuart grew up in Stoke-on-Trent with older brother Malcolm, and twin sister Anne. He was converted to Christianity with a “born again” experience on 20th July 1970, following the powerful evangelistic preaching of Michael Green (now deceased) and Brian Barber. From a form of religion to the living Christian experience, he moved from Catholicism to Methodism and was baptised in the Holy Spirit in that same year.
In 1973 Stuart moved to Birmingham to study theology at Birmingham Bible Institute, where he met his future wife Hilary, and they have now been married for over forty years. He moved towards a career in general nursing, which has spanned over thirty years, eventually progressing to his being a Senior Lecturer in Nursing at the University of Wolverhampton, with a renowned ability to speak forthrightly to his audience, from notes as small as a postcard!
He now attends Potters Church, based in Stoke-on-Trent, so he has become a blast from the past for those people who knew him in his younger years. He enjoys fellowship and prayer with all those who walk with Jesus.
He habitually loves to study both scientific and artistic topics, play and compose Christian music, helps the family, even being a taxi service, and prays for and with anyone who has a few moments to spare.
