Meet Rev. Frank Ritchie. A few years ago, Frank went to Israel and Palestine as part of his work with an aid organisation. Through crisis, what was an intellectual curiosity in a different form of spirituality became a necessity through his experience. Frank is the minister of Commoners Wesleyan Methodist Community in Hamilton, New Zealand, a broadcaster co-hosting a weekly Sunday evening show on Newstalk ZB and serves as a chaplain to people who work in media. He is interested in contemplative forms of Christian spirituality, and has a love of coffee and amateur photography. You can find Frank on Instagram @frank_ritchie.
