My name is Reverend Martin Howells. I am a Pagan Minister and part of an organisation in Australia whose aim is to educate the community and government agencies about the true Pagan religions, promote Paganism as a real and valid family of religions, and to provide the Pagan community with access to Clergy and Chaplaincy services that many other religions have had access to for many years now (e.g. hospital visits, funeral services, and eventually legal religious marriage celebrants).

I have also been involved in radio communications for almost 30 years now and I am a licensed Amateur Radio operator. I am also heavily involved with the provision of volunteer emergency communications and monitoring services. My trade qualification is in electronics, and I was formerly employed in the security industry performing armed mobile patrols and also as a Supervisor and Area Manager.
