a new role as editor for Colloquium research
I am delighted to have been announced this week as the newly appointed (part-time) Editor of Colloquium: The Australian and New Zealand Theological Review.
The journal began in 1967. It belongs to the Australian & New Zealand Association of Theological Studies (ANZATS) and for the last 59 years has played a unique role in supporting theological scholarship in Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. The journal has just gone open access, so it’s an exciting time to be able to make a contribution.
As I wrote for the announcement to ANZATS members:
“I applied to be editor of Colloquium because I am looking for opportunities to support authors, encourage reviewers and foster partnerships that enhance knowledge-making that is with, from and for this region. I have worked in higher education in different settings in Australia and New Zealand, and am delighted that as an editor I will get to connect and reconnect with you across theological networks and ministry contexts.”
Colloquium has a broad focus across the range of theology. This means the role as Editor of Colloquium will sit nicely alongside my ongoing Co-editor role with Ecclesial Futures journal, which is focused internationally on mission and the development and transformation of ecclesial communities and systems. It also sits nicely alongside my AngelWings Ltd role, keeping me networked with high-quality research and regional academic networks.
I have published several times in Colloquium. Once in a special issue in 2007
Even the Dogs Eat the Crumbs that Fall from their Masters’ Table”: A Contemporary Reflection on the Sacramentality of Communion,” Colloquium 39 (2), 2007, 209-225
Again last last year, (here).
“Making and Christian witness in Australia today,” Colloquium 55 (2) (2025): 30–45. Doi: 10.2478/colloquium-2025-0004
Both of those experiences affirmed for me the importance of a journal like Colloquium and the unique role it plays in promoting scholarship in our part of the world. I’m excited about the next few years.
