Power of Imperfection

Ruth Scott works freelance as a writer, broadcaster, lecturer and mediator whose disparate areas of work are united by the theme of storytelling. She was among the first women to be ordained priest in the Church of England in 1994, and is now a member of the Quakers. She has written drama and reflective programmes for the BBC World Service and Radio 4, and broadcasts regularly on Radio 2's 'Pause for Thought' and 'Good Morning Sunday'

· Ruth has an engaging and compelling style, revealing her own weaknesses to make us consider our own. She is brave enough to challenge the central tenets of human fallibility, the meaning of community and the way in which we can recognize our own imperfections and yet gain strength from them.
