Allan, from Aotearoa-NZ but now residing in Queensland, actively advocated for, and practised, intergenerational church activities for a number of years, along the way completing an IG-focussed PhD (Murdoch University) and writing a number of articles. While more recently his ministry focus has been on theological education theory and practice, especially in SE Asia (where he and his wife served for around 25 years), he appreciates this opportunity to encourage those seeking to enhance IG interaction as an expression of relevant and biblically faithful Christian community.
