About Tom

Priest · Writer · Creator of Havnot

Hello, I’m Tom Kennar.

I’m Rector of St Faith’s Church in Havant, Hampshire, and the writer behind the fictional parish of St Faithful’s, Havnot.

Through stories and sermons, I explore the possibilities of a generous, questioning Christian faith—and the comedy of our life together.

Sermon anthology

A year of progressive sermons, attentive to injustice and grounded in a deep love of Scripture.

Short talks, homilies, stories, journals and reflections from parish life, with selected cartoons by Dave Walker.

Reflections, sermons, diaries, local history and poetry from the pandemic of 2020, with contributions from parishioners.
