Jennie Baddeley

Jennie Baddeley is involved in all kinds of ministry at Redlands Presbyterian in Brisbane, where her husband Mark is an elder. She loves looking after their two sons, who frequently pose tricky theological questions and display a genuine appreciation for those God-given bodily functions rarely valued in the wider community of grown ups. Jennie and Mark studied at Moore Theological College many years ago, and now value being part of the Queensland Theological College community, where Mark lectures in Doctrine. In her spare time, Jennie likes listening to Bach cantatas, Assam tea, laughing at her sons’ jokes and admiring her husband’s tomato plants. Jesus turned her life upside down when she was eight, and she is still delighted and comforted by who he is and grateful that his death and resurrection over 2000 years ago remains a solid foundation for living today.

How do we disagree with each other? If you’ve been around any church for more than 12 months you’ll know that there are many disagreements. Sometimes these are fairly small and trivial. In every church I’ve ever been in there’s been an argument about the colour or type of the furnishings. And the carpet is a small issue compared with some of the wider ones that impact on life, like who Jesus is, how God saves, and other major doctrinal truths.
