- What you do for fun and re-creation?
- Watch films - especially cool, surreal arty-type ones like Lost in Translation and Donnie Darko, and the good old action film. Playing video games and watching others play them - oh and I had an addiction problem with the TV series House, but I think I'm getting over it.
- What do you see as some of the biggest challenges facing Anglicans today?
- Re-examining the way we do everything so that it fits in with our theology - which also mean re-examining our theology.

- The opportunity to re-discover a communal faith, where everyone plays a part and everyone contributes. And the opportunity to re-discover spirituality without the boundaries which have previously been placed on it by organized religion.... or something like that...
- What do you want Anglimergent to be? and what other Anglimergent resources, gatherings, activities or events would you find helpful for your ministry?
- Mainly a place for dialogue and conversation. A place where I can ask questions that I wouldn't dare ask otherwise - and have fun finding possible solutions. Any events or activities which help stimulate that are onto a winner I think.
