------------------------------------------------------------
My original education in New Zealand was in Education and Theology . I later specialised at Masters level in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) at the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland.
------------------------------------------------------------
For 12 years I worked in New Zealand as a pastor, followed by 5 years in Northern Ireland as a church worker. After completing my MA studies in 1990, I joined a research group in the university working on the development of children's language in the classroom using computers. Later I became a lecturer in Religious Education in the university's teacher training department.
