Between 2008 and 2017, Gavin Ashenden was the Anglican chaplain of Queen Elizabeth II. He resigned his post after a section of the Koran denying the divinity of Jesus, was read in the Scottish Episcopal Church. In December 2019 he converted to Catholicism. Today he is very much at peace with his decision. Many other Anglicans are now searching his advice, and in the past year, 24 other Anglicans also converted to the Catholic faith. Gavin had some other confrontations with the law. In the 1980s, he used to smuggle Bibles and medicine into the Soviet Union. In 1982 he was arrested by the KGB but was released. For 4 years, between 2008 and 2012, he had a religious program on the BBC entitled ’Faith and Ethics.’ For 23 years, between 1989 and 2012, he was also Senior Lecturer of Psychology of Religion and Literature. Today he does most of his ministry on line and by the use of social media.
