As a child and young man growing up in London Andrew was frequently ill. He set his heart on working in the field of anaesthetics an ambition he achieved but found himself called into Anglican ministry. He has since had a considerable role in the work of reconciliation both between Christian and Jew and between Shi'ite and Sunni Muslim. As Vicar of St George's Baghdad the only Anglican church in Iraq he lead a team providing food health care and education on a major scale and often in dire circumstances. Despite the pain from multiple sclerosis he is frequently involved in hostage negotiations and played a key role in ending the siege at the Church of the Nativity in Jerusalem.
