Hello world!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! This is a spot where I share some thoughts about life, spirituality, mission and ministry.
I live in Dunedin with (hubby) Steve, and our young adult daughters. And a cat. (Don’t forget the cat.) l love our views of the harbour, as well as the birds that serenade us daily.
Work-wise, I like variety, which is just as well! I’m Somerville Lecturer in Pastoral Theology at Otago University; co-leader of Student Soul (a student congregation); and I also do a little research and consultancy for various not-for-profits – churches and denominational agencies mostly.
I grew up in Christchurch, and have also lived in Auckland and Adelaide.
Overall, I’m passionate about helping people connect with God; and about seeing them become the people that God has made them to be.

  • Hi, Lynne. Thanks for the blog.

    It appears to me that fear is the greatest barrier to experience of the divine.

    I’m almost finished a book “The fear free mind” which is a (proven) psychodynamic technique to permanently remove fear from people.

    I realise you are probably extremely busy, but I would love to get some feedback from you if you are feeling charitable (or curious: I’m told it’s reasonably entertaining and informative).

    I have put the opening section here: https://deafInOneEye.com/

    Please pop over and take a look if you have the time and the inclination.

    Just to be clear: I am not asking you for an endorsement or whatever: just some feedback :-).

    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers,

    e.
