Who is Hugh Stowell Brown?

HSB was a Baptist minister in Liverpool in the 19th century and I'm writing his biography. This blog and the allied website A Ready Man will tell you all about him.

If you can't wait, see the Wikipedia entry on HSB (which I wrote!),

I've started work on the website http://www.areadyman.com . At the moment the design is similar to the blog, but it will probably go through some changes.

Starting my sabbatical in one month

It's just a month until I start my sabbatical.

I'm spending two days a week for three months on study leave from my work as minister at Dovedale Baptist Church in Liverpool.

I'm intending to do two pieces of work. One is about faith and work: specifically being a Baptist minister at the same time as having another job, working at BBC Radio Merseyside as a producer and presenter.

The other is to write a short biography of Hugh Stowell Brown. I hope to get a book written, called "A Ready Man" about Brown's life, ministry and theology.

Hence the title of this blog and the new website I'm just starting to build: www.areadyman.com .

Come with me on this journey of discovery.
