Hobbies & Interests - Resumé

Interests and Activities My hobbies include voracious reading, chess, squash (seldomly played these days, sadly), more reading and frequent movie-going… followed by reading. I have a personal library of over 7,000 volumes relating principally to theology but including philosophy, social and political theory, and history. I am involved in my local congregation in teaching. I am and have been involved in reading groups related to theology and culture such as: Faith and Freedom (friends of the Journal of that name) Theology and Modernity (some students and staff at Murdoch University) Dead Apologists' Society (I am a joint founder and the amateurish web page creator - see http://www.geocities.com/deadapologistssociety). I am also a committee member of the Anabaptist Association of Australia and New Zealand. I have written a brief review of Tim Costello’s Streets of Hope for their On the Road newsletter and am currently writing a review of Duane Friesen’s Artists, Citizens, Philosophers. Theologically, I would describe myself as progressive evangelical.
