Fabulous day to climb a mountain…

  • My vocational experience spans intercultural mission, academia, industry—structural engineering—and commerce—design, print, web-dev.

Approach

Faith is integral to how I understand, appreciate and inhabit the world. I believe holistic faith leads to worldviews and practices capable of authentically facilitating human flourishing. For me, this reflects the true nature of the missionary vocation.

  • Holistic faith looks beyond dogma, creed and belief to shared actions and values.
  • In a holistic faith perspective, our personal faith, culture and worldview are held in appropriate tension with the cultural contexts and faith of others.
  • Authentically recognising—not merely acknowledging—the multiplicity of peoples and cultures in our shared world is transformative. It opens our minds and hearts to the complexity of human nature and the different conditions that respectively facilitate or deny human flourishing.
  • I believe everyone—not only religious believers—has a potential vocation and I encourage people towards discovering vocational fulfilment.
