For over a decade they have planned and led a range of pilgrimages within Aotearoa New Zealand, and overseas in Israel and Palestine; Italy (Franciscan); England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland (Celtic); and Greece and Turkey. They have also been involved with St George's College in Jerusalem and the Anglican Centre in Rome, both centres for pilgrimage. In 2015 John spoke at the Second Global Conference on Sacred Journeys held at Mansfield College, Oxford University, England. In 2017 they walked 150 km of the Camino Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

John is a retired Priest in All Saints' Anglican Parish, Palmerston North, a former Deputy Mayor of Palmerston North, and in his working life, director of a human resource company. Jenny is organist and choir director at All Saints, and is now retired from a career in music and teacher education.
