Lindsay Urwin

Urwin was the area Bishop of Horsham in the Diocese of Chichester, in southern England, from 1993 to 2009, and was also the principal organiser of the annual Caister Conference.

On 12 April 2015, his appointment was announced as vicar of Christ Church Brunswick in the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne, Australia.

[5] In 1976, Urwin moved to England where, following a short period living and working in London, he resumed studies in theology at Ripon College Cuddesdon.

OGS is an international religious society of priests and laymen bound together by a common rule and discipline, including a requirement of celibacy.

He went on to say that in the experience of many single priests and bishops, some of whom who are of homosexual orientation, the embracing of celibacy either as a spiritual gift or in obedience to what the church asks of them, still does not seem to be enough.

[citation needed] Urwin has a particular interest in youth ministry and has encouraged people to remember Jesus as an adolescent, "breaking voice, hormones and all".

[16] Urwin has also appeared on an episode of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, where he was invited to attend dinner at a former chapel- converted restaurant, The Priory in Hayward's Heath (see 29.22).
