Carey Graduate School Ko te kura paetahi o Carey
I’ve always been interested in theology and God seems to be guiding me into postgraduate theological study. My current interests are in theological investigations into the dominance of monocultural accounts of multi‑ethnic New Zealand. So my research enquires into the dominance of whiteness in churches and communities and considers how they might become truly multicultural. I’m fascinated with Revelation and how John’s account of the nations might provide light and insight into issues of whiteness and superdiversity in New Zealand. I don’t know where this will lead but ultimately, I guess, this will result in me serving the church.”

individuals, communities, cultures and all creation. As a result, thesis topics can be wide ranging and deeply engaged in contemporary concerns of theology, the church, and God’s mission in the world. They draw from a range of research methodologies to enquire into the intersection of theology and lived reality. Our primary aim is to resource the church and society with compelling insights into the redemptive possibilities of the Christian faith for our time and place. This approach invites disciplinary research within the field of theological study, as well as interdisciplinary approaches that explore the intersection of theology and other related academic disciplines for more robust accounts of reality. The goal is to develop a body of integrative theological research that will both inform and encourage ongoing consideration within the wider church. We invite you to join our community of integrative theologians as we share together in the fruits of our research journeys. Nau mai, haere mai ki te kura paetahi o Carey.
