    I have made a page on my Conversations website with 'sneak-peaks' into some chapters, and a reflection on my theology and process around writing it.

  • Endorsement from Bishop Ellie, Wellington

    Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and pre-ordered the book. I would like to share with you an AMAZING endorsement, received today from Bishop Ellie:

    Awhi Mai Awhi Atu: Women in Creation Care

    Endorsement by Bishop Eleanor Sanderson (Pihopa Awhina, Diocese of Wellington)

    “Awhi Mai Awhi Atu is a precious gift to our church and our world. Filled with honesty and vitality, this collection honours and creates holy ground for women, men and children to stand in humble and hopeful relationship with each other and God’s earth. As a geographer, my life has been shaped by ‘earth-writing’. This collection of women’s writing is the best type of ‘earth-writing’; written from, and written for, incarnational embodiment. Here women reflect deeply and powerfully on their own embodied relationship with the earth and with the Creator and Redeemer of all. Each reflection ends by grounding this wisdom in a gift of incarnational invitation for the reader – practical steps we can all take to live more humbly and hopefully in loving relationship with God’s earth. This collection is a beautiful celebration of the loving compassion perceived and expressed by the women of these islands as well as a clear call to join with the work of God’s Spirit in safeguarding the integrity of God’s creation and to sustain and renew the life of the earth.”
