Nigel Mitchell

I was born in Adelaide in 1960, studied Theolgy at St Barnabas
Theological college and Flinders University. After completing my basic
degree I was ordained to the Priesthood of the Anglican Church, and
began my ordained ministry in the diocese of Ballarat, Victoria. I have
spent just over five years in parish ministry, four years as a school
chaplain, and been in my present position since the beginning of 1994.
I am employed half time as Chaplain to The University of Western
Australia. The rest of my time is spent working on a PhD in religious
Studies at Edith Cowan University.  I am married, and have a daughter
at Primary School.

My academic interests are Religious Education, Liturgy, Church History,
and the Hebrew Scriptures (ie Old Testament).  My liesure interests
include abseiling, camping, the beach, reading, singing and listening
to Church music, and net surfing.  My politics tend to the left, my
theology tends to be liberal, and my Churchmanship tends to the
Anglo-Catholic or High Church wing of Anglicanism.  My pet hates are
all forms of censorship, intolerance, and the arrogance which makes
people incapable of listening to or respecting the opinions of anyone
else.
