Oliver Forshaw

Having served parishes in Singapore, Yorkshire, and Cumbria, Oliver Forshaw was longest in a large UPA parish in Manchester where he set up with RC and Methodist colleagues a project to provide counselling and other community work. He also led Clinical Theology seminars for many years, as well as serving on a panel of counsellors for clergy set up by the NW diocesan bishops. This experience increased his awareness of the need for psychodynamic therapy for many of the ordained. Since his retirement in 1992, he dedicates his free time to extensive reading and gardening.
