Peter MeagerPeter Meager grew up in Shotts, Lanarkshire. He came to personal Christian faith aged 8 and knew he wanted to be a minister from then on. In his sixth year at school, his headmaster told him that going to university would be a waste of time. He ignord this advice and was accepted by Edinburgh. Just before his course began, he met Christine and they married between his Arts and Divinity degrees.
On ordination into the Church of Scotland, he joined the Army as a Chaplain. Sixteen years later, they moved to parishes in Fife's East Neuk. While there, he developed Laryngeal Dystonia, which forced him to retire in 1999. Peter is renowned for his bad jokes and has often been told, "You should be on the telly - and then we could switch you off!"
Since then, they have lived in Cupar. He had subsequent careers as a Psychiatric Hospital Chaplain, Presbytery Clerk and Manager for the Dystonia Society. He still volunteers as a Patient Partner with St Andrews University Medical School.
They have two children, a daughter-in-law and five grown up grandchildren. Peter now looks after Christine, who has dementia, but they still enjoy trips away in their campervan. He has always been a keen photographer and he took most of the photos in the book. Read More Read Less
