Early life

Miller was born on 27 June 1966 to Paul and Hilary Miller. He was educated at Haileybury and Imperial Service College, an independent school in Hertfordshire. He studied history at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, and graduated from the University of Cambridge with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1987; as per tradition, this was promoted to a Master of Arts (MA (Cantab)) degree in 1991.

Following graduation, he spent one year as a pastoral assistant at St James's Church, Sussex Gardens, an Anglo-Catholic church in Paddington, London. He then entered St Stephen's House, Oxford, an Anglo-Catholic theological college, to train for the priesthood and to study theology. He graduated from the University of Oxford, of which St Stephen's House is a Permanent Private Hall, with a BA degree in 1990; as per tradition, this was promoted to an MA (Oxon) degree in 1993.

In 1994, he was appointed a curate of St Mary the Virgin, Tottenham in the Diocese of London. In 1995, he was appointed vicar of the church. During his ten years as vicar, he was involved in church planting in the area. From 2005 to 2010, he was also Area Dean of East Haringey.
