Where did you grow up?
I grew up in various places in the South West corner of the continent along the coast of Western Australia – from Geraldton in the Mid North to Busselton in the South West of WA.
When did you hear God’s calling to be a minister?
I wondered about it in the late teens when people would suggest, “You should go to Sem’” quite a bit, but then finally as a full-time paid youth worker serving at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Adelaide, I finally started to listen! I entered preparation for ordination in 1995.
Why did you start blogging?
It was the best way I as Pastor to a school/church community could help our local people who are not regular weekly worshippers to still get something of God’s Word in their week.
How are you involved in ministry to women?
Many of our Pastoral Assistants, paid and volunteer church and congregation leaders and helpers are women. We work together in the gospel in our community.
Favourite hymn?
In Thee is gladness (LHS 386)
What would be on the menu for a special meal?
Poached whole Pink Snapper
In your opinion, what is the biggest challenge facing the church today?
Putting away our many gods and listening and following the only living God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit, so that we can treat each other with respect, forgiveness and genuine love.
