Interviews

How have you found St. Philip's Anglican Church? I reckon St. Philip’s is a very welcoming church with a great group of people in pretty much every age group and the sermons are always stimulating. How does it differ to churches you have attended? Some differences are big, some are little – why don’t you come and see for yourself! How has Campus Bible Ministries at UWS been a challenge for you personally? Well – apart from the fact that I help run it – I’ve been challenged by God’s message to stop trusting in myself and to start trusting him. What is your background? I’ve always lived in Sydney (the rest is shrouded in mystery?!). Do you see the Diocese of Sydney's aim is to see ten per cent of the people of Sydney in Bible-based churches in 10 years an achievable target? All things are possible with God! How did you become and how long have you been a Christian? I became a Christian when I was about six or seven. I think it was the fact that my teachers were loving and generous, that I wanted to be like them, and that they could explain God’s love for us sinners really simply and convincingly. Uni was also a significant time for my Christian growth. Who has had the biggest influence on life so far? My mum, my sister & my wife. What do you enjoy doing your spare time? Visiting op-shops, book shops, art galleries or cafes. What is you favorite movie? Anything by Zhang Yimou, such as ‘Hero’ and ‘To Live’. What is you favorite book? ’The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’, followed closely by ‘Catch 22’. What is you favorite food? Ice-cream or Vietnamese.	Rob Elder
