We are delighted to welcome back OB Graham Tomin, the recently departed Bishop of Kensington who left BGS in 1976 to speak at our first Lunch Club of the 2022/23 season. Returning to the Old Bristolians Memorial Ground, please arrive from 12pm for a 12.30 sit down.
Graham left BGS to study English literature at Lincoln College, Oxford and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree from the University of Oxford in 1980; as per tradition, this BA degree was promoted to a Master of Arts (MA (Oxon)) degree in 1983. He returned to Oxford to study theology and train for ordained ministry at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford. He graduated from the University of Oxford with another BA degree in 1985. He later completed a PhD in theology at the University of Exeter on St Paul, Martin Luther and Blaise Pascal.
Graham stepped down from his role as Bishop of Kensington this summer (2022) to lead the Centre for Cultural Witness, a new project to underpin the Church’s proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ in contemporary culture, with the aim to transform the public narrative and imagination about Christian faith.
Tomlin lives in West London with his wife, Janet. They have two married children, Sam and Sian. He is an avid supporter of Bristol City Football Club, Manchester United, Irish rugby and English Cricket.
