Tell us a little about you I live in colourful and diverse Surry Hills in Sydney’s inner city with my wife, Karina Kreminski. I was born and raised in Sydney by wonderful, caring parents who taught me how to love God, love others and pray. In 1986 I made a conscious decision to follow Jesus. My decision was inspired by high school classmates whose vibrant faith challenged me to dig deeper into the bible and find out more about God's character and what it means to be a Christi

Tell us a little about yourself Blessed by my grandmother's faith, my mum's love, my wife's patience, my sister's empathy, my daughter's laughter, my friends' wisdom: God has shown me what it is to follow Jesus through so many creative, credible and courageous women. The shape that takes for me at the moment is pastoral ministry in a local Anglican church, along with working as an ecological ethicist to help Christians join the dots between faith, discipleship and caring for

Tell us a little about you Married to Natalie, who is one of the ministers where I go to church. Four children, one son-in-law, two grandchildren. Brought up in western Sydney. Studied and worked overseas for sixteen years. Principal at Ridley College in Melbourne since 2012. What's your favourite bible passage & why? The one I read this morning. Just kidding. Maybe Colossians 3. Deeply profound – my life is hidden with Christ in God – and also down-to-earth practical. I

Favourite Bible passage Psalm 139:1-6 NIV [1] … You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. [2] You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. [3] You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. [4] Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. [5] You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. [6] Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. … Actually,Psalm 139 i

Tell us a little about yourself I am married to my lovely Jill and we live in the Blue Mountains in NSW. We have two adult daughters living in Sydney with whom we share deep bonds of friendship and my awful dad jokes.

My artistic practice of drawing and painting focuses mainly on stories about people and our human condition. Jill and I are than

What's your favourite bible passage & why? I admit this is going to sound a little humorous, but currently, one of my favourite verses is John 11:35. "Jesus wept." I can recall a classmate in high-school leading a 'bible study' on this verse as a bit of a joke. But, I can't help but think about how deeply profound it actually is! And, how deeply profound it would've been for those in the first century. In that day, the Roman gods were admired for their strength and ability to

Tell us a little about you I am the husband of Jenny and the father of Pippa (8) and a son of God. All three of them give me regular astonishment and delight.

I am vicar of St James’ Old Cathedral, Melbourne West; Chair of Finance for the Chapter of St Paul’s Cathedral, Melbourne, and host the Year of Discernment Program for those considering ordi

Tell us a little about you I grew up in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. I attended Sunday School with my wife Michelle, so we have been part of one another’s lives for a long time. We now have three married children and six grandchildren. All of whom keep us thinking, learning and praying. They bring amazing joy. With Michelle I have been in vocational ministry for over 40 years. We have had a ball. There have been difficult and testing times, but as we both look back we re
