About Luke

I split my time between Tirana in Albania and London in the UK, working across themes of faith, community, and balance.

I’m married to Steven, and I’m delighted to share my life with him and dear friends and family. It is these relationships that have grounded me in the desire and commitment to community.

Two years ago I began a daily yoga practice and I’ve not looked back, and I’m excited about where that goes next.

I have lots of ideas for books in my head, some of them are science fiction, others are based on my experiences and understanding of marginalisation that religious bodies can inflict. Maybe this will help with the actual writing part of any of those ideas…

Why Substack?

Perhaps many of you will empathise with the love-hate relationship with writing, so I hope for me this is a way to cultivate more of my love for it. I enjoy the process of putting my thoughts on a page, and seeing how they grow and adapt as they take on a life of their own. My hope for this Substack is to share some of that thinking, that is coming from deep listening, and hopefully journey in dialogue with those who offer their time to read my work.

Subscribe

I’d be delighted if you’d honour my work with your attention; the best way to do this is to subscribe so that you don’t miss anything. I hope to write 2-3 times a month, so I promise not to get too spammy.

Listening deeply, connecting dots, and then trying to write it down. Mostly Tirana, Albania, but sometimes London, UK.
