"I like to think of Dave
Andrews as a... weirdy, beardy, proverbially wise-old,
kind-old, be-slippered, fire-sided, snoozy, fearless,
story-telling, grand-fatherly, rugged, tribal-leader.'
Martin Wroe - Greenbelt

Dave
Andrews...
Dave,
his wife Ange, and their family, have lived and worked
in intentional communities with marginalised groups of
people in Australia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and
Nepal for more than thirty years. He now lives in
a large joint household with his wife, children,
grandchildren and others in an inner city community in
Brisbane, Australia.
Dave is
particularly interested in radical spirituality,
incarnational community and the dynamics of personal
and social transformation. He is author of many books
and articles, including 'Christi-Anarchy', 'Not
Religion, But Love', 'Building A Better World, 'Compassionate Community Work', 'People of Compassion', 'Living Community', 'A Divine Society', 'Plan Be' and 'Hey, Be And See' and 'See What I Mean?'
Dave and Ange
and their friends started a residential community
called Aashiana out of which grew Sahara,
Sharan and
Sahasee – three well-known Christian community
organisations working with slum dwellers, sex workers,
drug addicts, and people with HIV/AIDS in India. They
are currently a part of the Waiters Union, an inner
city Christian community network working with
Aborigines, refugees and people with disabilities in
Australia. Out of the Waiters Union has grown the
Community Initiatives Resource Association, auspicing
local experimental community activities, and the
Community Praxis Coop, providing holistic community
work training.
Dave is the coordinator for training with the Community Initiatives Resource Association, an educator at large for
TEAR Australia, a Christian international aid
and development agency; a teacher for Christian Heritage College, Malyon College, and Trinity College;
and an elder for Servants.
