Rabbi James Baaden

I grew up in the United States and Canada, and I have now lived in Britain for over 20 years and am a British citizen. 

After careers in the UK  in journalism and the public sector (Social Services), I studied for the Rabbinate at Leo Baeck College, and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

I was ordained by the College in 2000.

I have a strong commitment to interfaith relations in south London, for example in 2002-03 I served as joint chair of Lambeth's "Local Strategic Partnership".
