Michael Keulemans is currently Associate Priest in the Llanfyllin Group of Parishes with responsibility for Llanwddyn, a village in the Berwyn Mountains that supplies the City of Liverpool with its drinking water. He was ordained priest in 1993 and holds Master of Theology and Doctor of Ministry degrees from the University of Wales and was awarded the Merchant Navy Medal in 2005.
He worked for just under a quarter of a century as Warden of the M.V. Loach Project, which gave children and young people the opportunity to crew a cargo ship from the Thames Estuary to London and latterly educated inner-city lads in Liverpool for deck and engineer traineeships in the Merchant Navy.
Previously he worked as a research assistant with an international oil journal, spent some time as an operational fireman in the London Fire Brigade and taught in primary and secondary schools in London and Kent. He served for seven years on the Church of England's Church Assembly and General Synod.view less
