Your 'Day Job'

Communications and Research Coordinator

What you do for fun and re-creation?

Exploring new cities, camping in the great outdoors, doing ordinary housy stuff with my wife (Meg) and children (Darcy and Iona).

What do you see as some of the biggest challenges facing Anglicans today?

How do we do church for the sake of those who haven't met Jesus yet. Our mindset, attitudes and expectations about the institution and each other get in the way too often.

What do you see as some of the biggest opportunities for Anglicans today?

Being a diverse community with people from every walk of life, theological perspective and nation who find themselves seated at God's table together.

What do you want Anglimergent to be? and what other Anglimergent resources, gatherings, activities or events would you find helpful for your ministry?

I am the secretary for national Anglican task force that is trying to seed missional ideas throughout the dioceses of Australia, namely Fresh Expressions Australia. I am also part of an organisation that actively plants new missional communities too. Connecting with other seeders and planters would be terrific.
