How do we build learning communities that flourish?

What makes a school truly flourish—not just academically, but as a whole community? How can we support environments where students, educators, and families thrive together?

In this in-person event, Dr Lynn Swaner will share insights from her extensive research across more than a dozen countries and over 150,000 voices, exploring what really matters in education—and how flourishing communities can be cultivated through vision, values, and intentional practice.

While this event is designed for educators, it will resonate with anyone involved in Christian leadership, school governance, chaplaincy, or faith-based community development. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the shared work of shaping learning communities that support holistic growth and spiritual wellbeing.

We’d love to have you join us!

Anzac Reflections: A Personal and Ecclesiastical Response
2025-04-24 12:00 - 14:00 | Burns 5 Seminar Room, 95 Albany Street, Dunedin North, Dunedin, 9016, New Zealand
Hosted by the National Centre for Peace & Conflict Studies

War forces decision, decisions have consequences, and consequences form the warp and weft of history as disparate threads are woven together to form recognisable patterns. In this talk, Bill Wiser will trace the trajectory of his father and one of his uncles as they navigated the reality of universal conscription in the United States during the Second World War. On the eve of another Anzac Day, it is fitting to honour those who have served in uniform as well as those who chose to adhere to their conscientious objection to war. Bringing the topic into the present, Bill will explore a current ecclesiastical expression of church community that strives to eliminate the causes of war through its commitment to peace, a commitment that as recently as WW1 cost individual lives.

Bio

Bill Wiser is a pastor and chaplain who, with his wife, Grace, has served in the aftermath of natural and human disasters in Australia and South Korea. His father joined the Civilian Public Service as a conscientious objector during WW2, ending that chapter in federal prison; one of Bill’s uncles fought his way across Europe during the final months of the war with the 353rd Regiment of the 89th Infantry Division of General Paton’s Third Army. Bill’s personal connection with veterans of the Vietnam War led him to visit US troops in Saudi Arabia just prior to the outbreak of the Gulf War. While a vocal advocate for peace, Bill carries a deep respect for those who serve in uniform.

Auckland Ecumenical Lay Preachers Gathering

The Bible and Violence

Auckland Ecumenical Lay Preachers Gathering

Dr Emily Colgan of Trinity Methodist Theological College will join us to explore Violence in the Bible.

The Bible is a book that’s filled with violence. Sometimes, it’s easy for us to recognize the violence being described in a text; at other times, it’s hidden in plain sight, and we might not even notice it’s there. What can we learn from biblical “texts of terror” that depict all manner of violence? And how might they speak to us about the violent acts, words, and ideas that we encounter in our world today? In this session, Emily will share her thoughts on the enduring significance of biblical violence and the ways that it can inform our own understandings of contemporary violence. There will also be time for Q&A and Emily challenges us – “Ask Me Anything!” (about the Bible!).

Dr Emily Colgan is Assoc Professor and the Ranston Lecturer in Biblical Studies at Trinity Methodist College, Auckland. Emily is a bit of a Bible nerd who is utterly passionate about biblical interpretation incontemporary contexts.

After completing a conjoint degree in Arts (Māori Studies) and Theology (Biblical Studies), Emily pursued postgraduate qualifications in Biblical Studies (Hebrew Bible). She earned her PhD in Theology in 2015. Emily worked as a tutor and a lecturer at the University of Auckland throughout her doctoral study. After submitting her PhD, Emily worked as an adjunct lecturer for St John’s Theological College (in Tai Rawhiti) and the Pacific Theological College (in Suva, Fiji). Emily began working at Trinity College in November 2015.

Emily’s research focuses on the relationship between the Bible and contemporary social imaginaries, asking about the ways in which biblical texts interact with communities in the present. She is particularly interested in ecological representations within the Bible and what it means to read Scripture in the context of climate change. Emily is currently working on an ecological commentary of the Book of Jeremiah for the Earth Bible Commentary series (Bloomsbury). She has also written chapters on the Bible and ecological thinking in The Oxford Handbook on Bible and Ecology (Oxford University Press, forthcoming), The Bible and Art: Perspectives from Oceania (Bloomsbury, 2017), The Nature of Things: Rediscovering the Spiritual in God’s Creation (Wipf and Stock, 2016), and Sexuality, Ideology and the Bible: Antipodean Engagements (Sheffield Phoenix, 2015).

Emily is also very interested in biblical depictions of gender and violence. Her most recent publication is a multi-volume work, which she co-edited with Caroline Blyth and Katie Edwards entitled Rape Culture, Gender Violence, and Religion (Palgrave, 2018).
