What kind of work? Greg spent the first six years at Nungalinya College, a combined churches ministry training school for Aboriginal people. He trained candidates for ordination as well as lay people.
"But there's something of a gap between Nungalinya provides and what people in the church actually need to be trained for ordination, so for the last six years I've been working in that gap."
Greg has travelled out to the six Anglican parishes in Arnhem Land, focuses on helping churches to think about leadership, as well as finding the right people to be church leaders.
He is now returning to Sydney to teach about mission at Moore College, but hopes to do further work with indigenous people in the future.
How has he seen God working: "At the moment the future seems bright: there's been four people ordained this year on Groote Eylandt," he says. In five out of the six parishes people who have been ordained or who are on track to ordination.
What can we pray for the work in the Northern Territory?"We need men to come up and be involved," he says. "At the moment there are no men teaching in the theology school full-time: there's a danger that church stuff just becomes women's business."
