About Me
- Father David
- Pachacamac - Lima, Lima, Peru
- I am a Benedictine monk from Belmont Abbey, Hereford. I studied theology at Fribourg University in Switzerland, and was chaplain for many years at Belmont Abbey School, now sadly closed. I spent some time in Whitehaven in the parish. For the last 27 years I have been in Peru,part of the Belmont foundation here, but for most of the time working in parishes. I am now Superior of a monastery which has been founded from Belmont on the outskirts of Lima. I have written two books of theology, the first "The Royal Road to Joy. The Beatitudes and the Mass", published by Gracewing in 2003. The second, "Heaven Revealed. The Holy Spirit and the Mass" will be published in July or August by the same publisher, and I am working on a third. My interests: theology, ecumenism,especially with the Eastern Churches, things pastoral. From 1981 - 1990 I was in Tambogrande 1991 - 1997 in Negritos, Talara 1998 in Harrington, Cumbria 1998 2002 in Cajamarca 2002 till now in the monastery except for 2006 when I was with the Charismatic Renewal in Lima
