Glynn has been a church minister for nearly forty years, working in both the Presbyterian and Anglican churches, and in a variety of socio-economic contexts. He writes regularly on spirituality for newspapers and magazines. He loves coffee, tramping, and being on or beside the ocean. He is a strong advocate of building a society that leaves nobody behind or outside. He is married to Stephanie, and they have four children, two cats, one dog, and two grand-dogs. Their first grandchild is due shortly.
This collection of poems is a true blessing. They warm the soul, quietly provoking and gently prodding towards a more grateful and grace-filled life. Hamish Galloway - Moderator, Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa NZ Glynn Cardy's blessings are sacred midwives of the ordinary, 'flowing, moving, cooling, offering life to all'. Highly commended. Rex A. E. Hunt - Author, Progressive Liturgist, Religious Naturalist The rhythm of each blessing is very steady and soothing. Thank you for putting into words what we who are too close often cannot express other than with 'ooohs' and 'ahhhs'. Alofa Lale - Associate Minister at First Church of Otago
