I am an Australian, an ordained church minister, the father of the two most wonderful boys in the world, and currently a stay at home dad. I am something of a computer nerd and I enjoy photography, reading, body art, fantasy role play gaming, reading, swimming, and reading. Politically, I used to be an anarcho-socialist. I’m not really sure what I am now except that I am far more a realist than I used to be (amazing what church politics will do to you!!!!<grin>).

My musical tastes are varied and include traditional church chant, medieval and baroque music of all kinds,
instrumental music from the Classical period of Western music, the Russian composers of the turn of the twentieth century,
punk, some heavy metal, hardcore, funk, and alternative rock.
I was also, once, a competent clarinet player and a good recorder player.
A decade long lack of practice has honed both those skills to near extinction.
My wife assures me I sing flat... doesn’t stop me, though, from belting out my favourite hymns in church.
And then there are the books, mainly sci-fi and fantasy, and liturgy and theology...
I am almost always reading something (a habit Joshua seemed to be gaining till he discovered GameBoys!)
I have a separate website for exploring my religious faith and life. Go there for reflections on how faith and culture interact, for liturgical texts and papers, for information on The Order of Saint Luke, and for other reflections on living the Christian life.
A variety of my other interests can be found on this page. These interests include photography, fantasy role play gaming (FRPG), body art, and website design!
And yes, I even have some friends... scattered around the world, young and old, religious and not,... obviously I’m not going to list all their names here ;-) but over the years I hope to add some photos of most of them! Thanks, friends, for your friendship over the years.
Here are some links I hope you might find interesting.
