Roy Gregory is a part-time pastor of Ashley Church in St Albans and an Open University Tutor in the Technology Faculty.  He works as a spiritual director locally and as part of a team of spiritual directors working at the Greenbelt festival.

He is also a Chartered Engineer and lectured for many years at the University of Hertfordshire specialising in thermodynamics, educational research and staff training.

He has a special interest in psychology and a few years ago took an MA in Psychology of Religion at Heythrop College, London.  His dissertation was an interview-based study on serenity and to what extent it can be taught.

Having an interest in how faith works out in everyday life, particularly for those outside of the church, he runs workshops in the fields of education, spirituality and personal development.  This also has led him to develop a number of websites, which aim to increase accessibility of spirituality resources and is currently co-editing a book in that area.
