Andrew I have been greatly intrigued by your blog. I'm a theologian (of sorts) from New Zealand (Princeton PhD 1973), a teacher at St John's Theological College Auckland most of my working life (I'm 82 years of age). In particular I was struck by your account of Farrer's "A Rebirth of Images" and your enthusiasm for Tolkien and for the movie "As in Heaven". I've had a lot to do with Maori and am deeply interested in our Maori/Pakeha relations in this extraordinary country of ours. Enough. Hope to hear from you. I have a pretty weird amateurish sort of facebook page, address "George Armstrong".
