Cheryl Lawrie Alternatives in Melbourne
This morning on Educating Christians I posted on the Belonging Kit, edited by Cheryl Lawrie back in the late 1990s. It was a Uniting Education project designed to help churches nurture young adults into an active reflective faith.
I first met Cheryl when she was promoting her work on mentoring and youth. I invited her over to New Zealand to work with the Presbyterians mostly, though that did spill over into ecumenical gatherings involving Anglicans, Methodists and Catholics. We published an article or two by Cheryl in Crumbs the ecumenical youth ministry magazine.
Cheryl is still in Melbourne working with the Uniting Church Synod of Victoria. Just recently she moved from the Children and Families area into Alternative Worship. Lucky woman! Fancy having the cheek to design her dream job and put it to her employers!
She made it into the Age newspaper this last Easter, with an “unorthodox media” Easter stations experience.
Postkiwi Duncan Macleod posts on life, faith and culture in Australia, drawing from his involvement in the creative industry, the Uniting Church, the blogosphere, generational research, the emerging church and life on the Gold Coast.
Duncan is the editor of The Inspiration Room, a site showcasing advertising, design and other work produced by the global creative community.
