Past & Present Works
Parish, School & Home-based Resources
Over many years, my skills have often been engaged to produce family-friendly resources which accentuate 'home as a holy place', with religious themes expressed through relational stories, practical outreach and home rituals.
Jewish-Christian Relations
These days, the focus of my work is the relationship between Jews and Christians, informed by my Catholic studies and background and my lived experience within the Jewish community.
The Second Vatican Council was a turning point in Catholic teaching about Jewish-Christian relations. Yet this groundbreaking development is not always well known beyond specialist interfaith circles. There is an urgent need for Christians to have ready access to resources that promote a love for the Hebrew Scriptures, an appreciation of the Jewish roots of Christianity, and respect for the traditions of the Jewish people as lived today.
