Rico Tice

Richard Ian "Rico" Tice (born 1966) is an Anglican churchman and writer, co-author of Christianity Explored. He is currently Associate Minister at All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, and is well known in the UK as a speaker at evangelical Christian conferences and an evangelist of national standing.

Early life

Born in Chile in 1966, the son of a businessman and a nurse, Tice grew up in Uganda and Zaire. He was educated at Sherborne School, Dorset and spent a gap year working as a youth worker in inner-city Liverpool. He then studied history at Bristol University, where he also captained the Rugby team.

His progress towards full time Christian ministry began with a period as a Lay Assistant at Christ Church Clifton in Bristol. After working briefly for Hewlett Packard, he trained for ordination at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford.

Christian ministry

He was ordained in the Church of England in 1994, and shortly afterwards joined the staff team at the nationally known All Souls, Langham Place in 1994 as Associate Minister. His main role is to help the hundreds of enquirers about the Christian faith who come through the doors of the church each year. In an interview in 2000 he confirmed his desire to focus on evangelism.

Tice

Tice are wetlands, which are the remains of the old bed of the river Tisza in the present-day Latorica Protected Landscape Area (situated along the Latorica River) in Slovakia.

The Tisza flowed 20 thousand years ago. The Tice, along with other territories marked by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, constitutes the main part of the Latorica Protected Landscape Area. They feature rare flora and fauna, especially water birds and amphibia.

Subject to special protection are the tice called "Dlhé tice" and "Krátke tice".
