I am extremely grateful for what I get to do in life. I work to give support to media personnel through Media Chaplaincy New Zealand (a service of CBA), with the offer of being there to laugh, lament, and get into the journey with them through personal and professional support. You can find out more about that here.
I also turn on a microphone weekly on New Zealand’s largest talk radio station, Newstalk ZB. You can tune into what I do every Sunday evening from 6pm.
Alongside both of those I am the minister of a Christian faith community in Hamilton, New Zealand – Commoners. Check it out and come and join us for one of our Sunday gatherings if you are ever in the area.
I live in Hamilton (the city of the future) with my amazing wife who works as a speech and language therapist in Hamilton, and our beautiful daughter. I like trying my hand at photography, and I have a thing for coffee.
I am an ordained minister within the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Aotearoa New Zealand and am extremely proud of the Wesleyan/Methodist history of working out God’s justice in the world on issues like slavery, prison reform, labour reform, civil rights and the list goes on.
I’m a Jesus loving, scripture adoring person of faith who feels most at home with liturgy, silence and ritual (I feel right at home in big, old cathedrals). I have a broad love of the beliefs and ideas of others. I love interacting with and learning from people of other religions (or non-religions). I get a kick out of candles, icons, incense and prayer kneelers. I reckon any idea of salvation that’s just about my soul going to heaven is too small. I want to experience the Divine and engage in practices that open me up to God moving, transforming and shaping me so that I can better participate in the divine story of healing and reconciling all of creation.
