Julian Sullivan

Julian Sullivan was born in 1949 in Winterbourne, Bristol. He discovered his early passion for drumming, ranging from rock to jazz. Raised in the Catholic faith, he experienced a life-changing renewal of faith in his early 20s. He pursued a degree in geology, worked as a teacher, and felt a calling to ordination in the Church of England. Training in 1980 led to gritty urban ministry from four years in Southall to 26 years in Sheffield, with three years in Wells, Somerset—no less challenging—in between. Now retired, with his wife, Veronica, and grown-up family, he enjoys beekeeping, playing jazz, chorale singing, walking, gardening, and worship with their new church.
