{"id":337,"count":10,"description":"After five years teaching (English and Religious Studies), ten years in magazine journalism and twenty years as a BBC producer, ending up as Head of Religious Broadcasting, I got a proper job - I was ordained in the Church of England. Over the last forty years I\u2019ve published  40 books - one novel, two biographies, an autobiography, an anthology of poetry about Jesus (The Poet\u2019s Christ) and endless books on religious topics. My main interest now is unpacking the Bible for modern readers and applying its message to modern life. I review books and write a regular diary column for the Church Times. This year I  was elected a member of the Society of Authors.","link":"https:\/\/www.ducklingtonchurch.org.uk\/?ctc_sermon_speaker=canon-david-winter","name":"Canon David Winter","slug":"canon-david-winter","taxonomy":"ctc_sermon_speaker","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ducklingtonchurch.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/ctc_sermon_speaker\/337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ducklingtonchurch.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/ctc_sermon_speaker"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ducklingtonchurch.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/ctc_sermon_speaker"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ducklingtonchurch.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fctc_sermon&ctc_sermon_speaker=337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
