An article I wrote a little while back about Augustine and cross cultural ministry. I am far from an Augustinian scholar – so please send feedback my way.

Thomas Brennen
Tom is a reformed opera singer who turned school principal through serving refugees at a school in Cairo, Egypt. Following serving as Principal at Sunshine Christian School, Victoria, Tom moved to Pakenham in 2017 to become Principal of Lakeside College. He often writes and presents to church and educational groups on topics including Lutheran education, social justice, cross-cultural service and contemplative practices. One day he would like to settle down with his wife and 2 dachshunds in their cottage at Langhorne Creek and live sustainably.
