A 2nd year candidate for the ministry of Deacon in the UCA. Always lived in Sydney and spent most of my adult life in the inner city, before moving here to Centre for Ministry. I love the space and natural environment here, and enjoy walking in the nearby bush. I have been an early childhood teacher, mission worker, church and university administrator, and have qualifications in English, education, philosophy and TESOL. I was studying to be a librarian when God changed my life by calling me into formation! I love to learn and studying theology is definitely my happy place! I also enjoy practicing yoga, singing, knitting, bushwalking, cooking (especially dinners for friends!), and learning to become a gardener.
If you are not angry – then you are not paying attention! Look at all the injustice around us and the world.
God is there to offer relationships and not a solution.
The just, shall live by faithfulness and trust.
John the Baptist may seem to be an odd character to be the one pointing to Jesus as ‘The Light’.
He came to tell people to pay attention and recognise who Jesus was, tell the story of the coming Messiah and to worn them to be ready!
Our mission is also John’s mission – in preparing for Christmas – ‘What would John do?’
Good news in our humanity.
Being mortal and human, we are limited by our human nature and only see the outside.
Only God is the one who truly sees – this is ‘Good News’.
