I am particularly interested in the interface between Theology and the physical sciences. I have always been caught up in music. I used to play trombone in a number of orchestras and brass bands. While at Victoria University I performed in the annual Opera staged by the School of Music there. At present I am a member of the Bach Musica Choir of Auckland.

Research Interests:
Questions at the interface between Theology, Philosophy and Natural Science, Ecclesiology, Ecumenical Theology.

Current Research Projects:
- An analysis of the reception of the ARCIC document, The Gift of Authority.

- The ecclesial status of the Anglican Communion.

- Rapprochement between Chalcedonian and "Monophysite" Churches on questions of Christology.
