Adrian Plass

Adrian Plass is a writer and speaker who has produced over thirty books in the last twenty years. The best known of these is the The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass, a gentle satire on the modern church, which has sold millions of copies worldwide. This and other books have travelled to other countries and are translated into a number of foreign languages. Other books include biography, novels, short stories, a fictionalized account of the author's experiences as a residential child care worker, and collections of poems and sketches. Adrian lives with his wife and daughter in a small market town near the Sussex South Downs.

Adrian has been in demand as a speaker in venues as varied as prisons, schools, churches, festivals, literary dinners and theatrical settings. His work also includes contributions to BBC Radio and other national and local radio and television. Live presentations combine humour, poetry, and storytelling, largely revolving around his own inadequacies and struggles as a Christian and a human being.

In recent years Adrian has been joined by his wife Bridget in presenting a more varied and dramatic style of performance. Adrian and Bridget met at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and have found particular satisfaction in being allowed to ‘do a bit of acting’. They have also been privileged to work alongside World Vision on several occasions, visiting Bangladesh and Zambia, writing two books and touring both in the UK and abroad with the aim of encouraging people to take up child sponsorship.

Their work now takes them as far away as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Africa, while trips to Europe have introduced the added dimension of speaking through interpreters. Not easy when you're trying to be funny!

Glen Soderholm

Glen is a singer/songwriter/worship leader/pastor/teacher who directs Moveable FeastResources, a ministry that exists to encourage the people of God to participate in vibrant worship. This ministry is based out of Rockwood, Ontario where Glen lives with his wife Sharon (a professional counselor) and two teenage daughters.

Glen has a Bachelor’s degree in History and English from the University of Toronto and Master of Divinity degree from Knox College (Toronto School of Theology). He was ordained as a minister with the Presbyterian Church in Canada in 1991 and served in two congregations in the Campbellville, ON area for 13 years.

Glen has a deep interest in, and passion for, the worship life of the church. He has been involved in the church’s worship for many years as participant, leader, pastor, provocateur, and resource person within a variety of settings. In that time he has released five recordings: In the Belly of the Fish (1997), By Faint Degrees (2000), Rest (2003), World Without End (2006), and This Bright Sadness (2008). Glen’s artistry has been inspired by the likes of Bruce Cockburn, Paul Simon, Mark Heard, and Shawn Colvin. His own compositions are now becoming well used by congregations throughout Canada. Glen’s music is distributed by Signpost Music out of Winnipeg, Manitoba - a unique Canadian distributor of quality independent music (including, amongst others, Carolyn Arends, Jacob Moon, and Fergus Marsh). Signpost was founded by and hosts two-time Juno award winning artist Steve Bell.

Glen’s passion also extends to helping other organizations through charitable efforts. He has participated in disaster relief fundraisers as well as being an active Artist Associate with World Vision where he promotes their child sponsorship program.
