Born and raised in Lancaster, in the north of England,  Leslie studied Accountancy & Law at University before training and qualifying as a Chartered Accountant.

    Ep. 36 with Graham Horsley

    In this episode of "New People, New Ways," we welcome a true pioneer adventurer in church planting and a key figure in the Fresh Expressions Movement, Rev Graham Horsley. Graham began his ministry journey in 1980, and by 1992, he had taken on the role of British National Church Planting Officer while simultaneously leading a church that successfully planted two new congregations. In 2000, he fully embraced his calling as a full-time church planting advocate, playing a crucial role in integrating the Methodist Church into the Fresh Expressions Movement. His visionary leadership also led to the creation of the Methodist Venture Fx organization, which has had a lasting impact on innovative ministry within the Methodist tradition in the UK. Although he retired four years ago, his passion for ministry continues. He is currently working on a fresh expression specifically designed for the Baby Boomer generation, navigating the unique challenge of helping the local church understand and embrace this new approach.   About New People // New Ways:What does a distinctly Wesleyan, Spirit-led movement that reaches people neglected by the church look like?

    Ep. 35 with Thea Curry Fuson

    In this episode of "New People, New Ways," we are joined by Reverend Thea Curry-Fuson, an ordained elder in the Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. Reverend Thea's journey is a testament to transformative faith and ministry. Growing up unchurched with only a nominal faith and relational exposure to God overseas, she entered into a transformative relationship with Jesus at the age of 28. Almost immediately, she felt the call to pastoral ministry, prompting her to leave her nonprofit career. We will explore Thea's unique path to ministry, the challenges and triumphs she encountered along the way, and her current role in fostering new ways of being church. Join us for an inspiring conversation on faith, transformation, and the innovative approaches Reverend Thea employs to reach and nurture communities.   About New People // New Ways:What does a distinctly Wesleyan, Spirit-led movement that reaches people neglected by the church look like?
