Suzanne Mitchell
Publications Manager
Sue is the editor of The Christian Teachers Journal and Nurture. Her job is to produce quality journals that inform parents and teachers about Christian education. Both journals have editorial committees which meet quarterly to assess articles and create ideas for future editions – always a challenge. Nurture has been published for 41 years and Sue has been editor for the past 14 years. It is circulated to around 10,000 families in Australia and overseas.
The production of a single issue involves many months of planning, contacting authors, editing, deciding on what goes into the journal (in consultation with the committee), proof reading and then liaising with the graphic artist and printers. Sue regularly attends conferences to keep up to date with issues in Christian education and to seek out potential authors to contribute to the journals. Sue has co-edited two books on Christian education, Reclaiming the Future and The Crumbling Walls of Certainty. When she is not working in the national office she works as a consultant historian or as a casual teacher.
Sue lives in the Blue Mountains and is married to Rick. They have one daughter, two daughters-in-law, two sons, one son-in-law and five grandchildren.
