All Parishioners have had the opportunity to meet the Enabler, the Rev Andrew Gamman, and to listen to, and discuss the details of the LSM. Rev Andrew comes to us as a Baptist Pastor and with a wide variety of life-experiences including work in the horticultural field. He holds Master of Theology and Master of Ministry degrees, and has been Pastor in a number of Auckland churches as well as establishing the Manurangi Baptist Church. He founded, was programme director and an on-air host on an Auckland radio station, was a columnist in the NZ Baptist newspaper and has been involved in World Vision. Among positions in the Baptist Church, he was from 1996 - 2009, overseeing the registration and on-going training of NZ Baptist Ministers. Andrew's recent involvement with the Methodist Church has been as Conferernce Secretary for the World Methodist Evangelism Institute in 2008-9, and more recently as a supply presbyter and the Wesley Methodist Church in Papatoetoe. He lives with his wife on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula with two of their four children. We welcome Andrew to our Parish and look forward to his leadership during this time of change. A series of six Worship Services preparing for the Local Shared Ministry, led by Rev Andrew Gamman, started on Sunday 7 Feb.
