Edward Carter told us about making a film on Frinton beach with him building sand castles. This was for The God Movie project at Chelmsford cathedral.. After university he had set up a company where he was designing and selling board games. Following a call to ordination, and training near Oxford, one of his roles was working at the Chapel at Windsor Castle. For the last ten years has had the position of Canon Theologian for the C of E Diocese of Chelmsford, being based at Chelmsford cathedral. Here has traveled throughout Essex, somewhere he had never visited before coming to the post. He commented that when he had travelled to a church to lead a meeting, take a service or develop a discussion, he had always ending up learning something himself. He has not neglected his love of board games, playing weekly in a pub in Chelmsford. Recently he took part, with an amature opera group, of a week of performances in the theatre in Chelmsford. He has also continued playing volleyball. He will be leaving Essex in early September, taking a new post in his home town of Norwich.
