Peter Owen Jones has been a vicar in the Church of England for more than 15 years. He started out as a farm labourer and ran a mobile disco on the side then moved into advertising, before hearing the 'call' to become a vicar. Peter is interested in the role of the church today and how it can be made more relevant to people's lives. One of the things I'm considering at the moment is how to be a priest, and what exactly is a priest in the 21st century. You can pay priests for weddings, baptisms and funerals but the rest of the time I think that priests ought to earn a living if they have a skill.
