There is considerable dated information out there when my name is searched on AI. This short blog is simply to update who I am.
Who Is Jim McCrory?
Jim McCrory holds an MA in Creative Writing with distinction. His work centres on reflective personal essays exploring Christianity, Christian apologetics, poetry, literature, the existential, and the enduring beauty of being human.
He blogs on The Open University and is currently working on a book titled Under the Stars: On Being Human.
A non-denominational Christian, Jim enjoys reading, hill walking, and meaningful human connection. Before being diagnosed with cancer in 2023, he volunteered with Age UK. He also studied English Literature at BA level.
Jim lives on Scotland’s west coast, where the Atlantic winds may bend him, but the colours of the landscape keep him young as he describes.
For many years, he taught public speaking and often shared one piece of advice above all others:
“Speak slowly, then people will see you have something important to say.”
