Now home in Aotearoa, Lynne is a Senior Lecturer in the Theology Programme at Otago University, including teaching into their Chaplaincy qualifications. Her research and teaching focus on the interface between the Church/Christians, and the world God loves.

He is a lecturer at Alphacrucis College NZ, a professional supervisor, involved in trauma response, and facilitating professional development with Vitae.
