He taught Pastoral Psychology, Care and Counselling at Archbishop Vining College of Theology, Akure from 1998–2003, and collated Archdeacon of Iwade and Vicar of Emmanuel Church, Italupe, Ijebu-Ode in 2003. He studied at The Evangel Theology Faculty, Osijek, Croatia, B.Th. (l990), Ogun State University M.Ed. (1997) and University of Ado-Ekiti, Ado-Ekiti, Ph.D (2003). He was Hon Associate Priest at St Matthew’s, Elephant and Castle, London (2007 - 2009) and the Priest in Charge of Romaldkirk with Cotherstone, and Laithkirk and Startforth united with Rokeby and Boldron with Brignal and Bowes in the Diocese of Leeds, UK (2009 – 2013). He is the Vicar in plurality of St Cuthbert, Burnley and St Luke the Evangelist, Brierfield in the Church of England in Lancashire, U.K since 2013. Stephen is a writer who has lived and interacted in both mono-cultural and multicultural contexts since he first left his native African home as a teenager. He is well placed to write on the socio-religious need for tolerance among participants who daily are strenuously pushing for globalization of ideas. This tolerance in relationships are best cultivated from the family dynamics and nurtured by the way community members receive each other and others who may not think or speak according to some set patterns. These issues of relationships were beautifully laid out by Stephen in his book; Fragmented Yet One - insights from an outsider.показать меньше
