New Thoughts on Climate Change
Sep 17, 2024
Peter Dunn grew up in the village of Waikaka north of Gore, then in Gore itself. He attended Gore High School (as it was called then). He did a carpentry apprenticeship in Gore and as a tradesman worked in Gore, Athol and Invercargill. In 1984 he was accepted for ministry training in the Presbyterian Church, completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy and a Bachelor of Divinity in Systematic Theology through Otago University. In 1990 Peter and Helen were called to the Waipu Parish forty minutes south of Whangarei, a great place to raise five children with its sticky climate, bare feet in the winter, beautiful beaches, and the smokestacks of the Marsden Point Oil Refinery not far away. The Northland experience did create at least one family rift. Dad supports the Highlanders or the Southland Stags, the boys support the Blues or the Northland Taniwha. Peter is not a scientist but is well-versed in the scientific method. In his vocation, he reads widely and contributes to the Climate Change discussions within the Presbyterian Church. This task will increase next year as he takes up the elected role of the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand. Peter is looking forward to doing a practice run with the club presenting thoughts and comparisons from the latest debates of interest on climate change. |
