Practitioner of innovative forms of worship and church community, internationally acclaimed liturgist and proclaimer of the Sacred Story.
I may be an ordained Minister of the Word in the Uniting Church, but I’m not a minister like those in days of old …
In winter 2023, I am providing Supply at Pilgrim Uniting Church in Adelaide, South Australia, helping to lead worship gatherings to cover for one of the team on Long Service Leave.
From August 2023, I am Minister in Placement with Christ Church Uniting, Wayville, in Adelaide South Australia.
Ordained as a Minister of the Word in December 2010, I have enjoyed placements with Belair Uniting Church in Adelaide, and Wesley Uniting Church in Canberra. I have been a freelance minister, writing, preaching, and leading worship in various locations across Edinburgh and Adelaide.
I have supported others experimenting with fresh expressions of church, including as Chaplain and member of the Advisory Committee for Rise Enterprises.
Church groups of all kinds invite me to lead a retreat, prayer-writing, life story, and reading the bible aloud or storytelling workshops.
I am a creative collaborator with MediaCom Publishing and Education. In 2022 and 2023 I composed liturgy for both their resources, Words for Worship, and L3: Lay Leaders Liturgy. I have also been a writer and editor for Seasons of the Spirit / Seasons Fusion (Woodlake).
My liturgy has also featured in Fig Trees and Furnaces, Winter, and The Wild Goose Big Book of Liturgies volume 2 (all with Wild Goose), and as e-liturgies with Wild Goose Publications. Learn more on the Books page.
I have been the lead for two alternative church experiments, Black Wood Jazz and The Esther Project.
