About the Editor

Lee Gatiss

Lee Gatiss read Modern History at New College, Oxford. After working for St. Ebbe's Church in Oxford for a while, he was a student on the Cornhill Training Course in London, with a placement doing student work at All Soul’s, Langham Place.

From there he proceeded to read Theological & Pastoral Studies at Oak Hill Theological College in London, staying on for a fourth year to continue research into the Old Testament (intertextuality in Malachi).

After a few years as the Curate of St. Botolph’s, Barton Seagrave and St. Edmund’s, Warkton in the Diocese of Peterborough (Church of England), Lee is now the Associate Minister of St. Helen’s, Bishopsgate in the City of London where he has responsibility particularly for the Sunday Morning service and midweek groups at Central Focus and Homegroups, as well as the delightful members of the Church Family staff team.

Lee is married to Kerry and they have two children called Joshua and Cara.  In addition to editing The Theologian he runs the Gatiss family website and has published reviews and articles in the magazine The Briefing and journals Churchman and Themelios, as well as several on this site.  He is also a member of the Latimer Trust Theological Work Group, the Editorial Board of the journal Churchman, and Co-Ordinator of Reform London. In his spare time (!) he's studying for a ThM in Historical and Systematic Theology with Westminster Theological Seminary in the USA, and has just published The Tragedy of 1662: The Ejection and Persecution of the Puritans (London: Latimer Trust, 2007).

To relax, Lee gretaly enjoys Tom Clancy novels, the musical brilliance of New Order, the epic that is Star Trek, and the genius of Manchester United (having lived 10 minutes from Old Trafford for many years). Sadly, Kerry (along with the rest of Lee's extended family) supports Manchester City! He is praying his children will support...
