Selwyn is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand. He currently leads the A Rocha local group in Dunedin. He has degrees in Geography and Divinity and did his doctorate on the nature of human dominion over creation. Selwyn has had years of experience getting the feel of how churches work, and of nurturing faith through engagement with God’s creation. He enjoys teaching and preaching the intimate connection of Christ and creation, especially when that also involves getting dirty hands with others, planting, turning things over, and breathing fresh air. His most unusual experience in this field was working with a conservation organisation in Tibetan China.
