WHAT DO I DO?

I'm now part of a small inner city Anglican church in North Carlton where I'm mainly simply a congregation member, though I do on occasion preach and take part in service leadership (and play guitar when I get the chance). I also offer my services to new preachers to help them in learning how to preach from the Bible in a helpful way

I coach a number of other Anglican ministers through the Diocesan coaching program. I am available to others as time permits. This can be done face to face or by phone or even Skype.

I also have a number of other roles within the Diocese of Melbourne as well as being national Treasurer of EFAC Australia, a member of the Committee of CBE Melbourne and a board member of ARDFA Australia
