about words of spirit and faith

cultural and traditional influences

I live in Aotearoa New Zealand, a small group of islands in the southern hemisphere.

The rich culture of indigenous Maori people and the introduced religions of settlers and colonists, along with migrants from the Pacific, Asia and Europe, blend into a unique mix of creative, spiritual art forms: music, writing, paintings, sculpture and other creative work.

My liturgical writing draws mostly on the Judeo-Christian tradition of my upbringing and my current, chosen faith community .

As well as being inspired by other writers, artists and theologians in Aotearoa— Joy Cowley , Anne Powell, Sir Lloyd Geering and FutureChurch  contributors—my writing's informed by meditation practices, humanist and post-christian philosophy and a growing interest in interfaith dialogue and sharing.
