Sue Pickering

In keeping with the tradition of tangata whenua [the original people of the land - Maori] I choose to introduce myself by naming my mountain - Taranaki; my river - the Mersey; and my genealogy, which includes Warburton, Jones and Pickering family connections. I am an ageing woman, wife and mother, mother-in-law and hopeful nana; I am also an Anglican priest, writer, spiritual director, Cathedral Canon, and ministry supervisor. I find rest in contemplative prayer and friendships, while quilting and walking, in the bush / forest and at the piano. I love Aotearoa New Zealand's blue skies and long white clouds and have learned to cope with the pouring rain and the 'never-knowing when' of earthquakes. I follow the contemplative incarnational path of Christian spirituality and the Way of Jesus. You can find resources for deepening the contemplative journey on my website: http://www.partnersonpilgrimage.org
