What you need to know about me:

• I am an Anglican priest, currently living in Wellington New Zealand
• I am a scholar who counts John Donahue as a teacher and a friend. I treasure his classes on Mark, and on the Parables of Jesus, of which I was a part while a doctoral student at Vanderbilt University
• I am a teacher. This blog is an adjunct to weekly teaching and preaching to the congregation of St Peters on Willis in Wellington. It also makes good on a promise made to a group of priests in the Bay of Plenty last year.
• I have been “worrying away” at the New Testament for some thirty mumble mumble years. That is not going to stop; there will be other gospel blogs.
