David Rhymer has been at Exeter since 1998 - second time around, following a first degree in physics and a PGCE in the 1970s. After secondary school teaching in Exeter, and gaining some experience in theological publishing, David trained for the Baptist ministry in Bristol, completing an MA on 'Problems in biblical interpretation in the light of modern study'. This was followed by a number of years of church ministry based in Cornwall, first with the Baptists, and then with the Methodists, both as a minister and as a Connexional officer.
His main expertise is in adult theological education, which is why, following some years in the Department of Lifelong Learning, he now finds himself running the Department of Theology's part-time degree programme, as well as looking after the Department of Theology’s outpost on the Cornwall campus. He is also developing an active interest and involvement in educating for sustainability. By way of preparing for retirement, he is practising leisure reading, wine-bibbing and dog-walking.
