Brown/''Record'' received the "Best editorial/opinion piece" award from the Australasian Religious Press Association (ARPA) on 4 October 2008. The award was for Brown's editorial "The 'family' myth" which critiqued the "family values" rhetoric of politicians, and appeared in ''Record'' just prior to the 2007 federal election.〔Nathan Brown, "(The 'family' myth )". ''Record'' 112:44 (17 November 2007), p2〕 The judges commented, :"What a pity we didn’t hear more of this kind of thing during the election campaign, when the phrase ‘family values’ was being tossed about in into almost every speech and discussion. Nathan Brown, in examining what this nebulous term really means, urges us to see it in a larger perspective, as going beyond the nuclear family and into the wider world. He also points out something preachers and teachers often forget, that Jesus was very far from being a family man in the narrow Western sense. A brave and original point of view."〔"RECORD recognised at ARPA awards" by Adele Nash. ''Record'' 25 October 2008, p4〕 He is studying towards a doctorate in English from James Cook University about the possibilities of God in postmodern literature.〔〔 His hobbies include reading and writing, playing basketball, making radio, and growing flowers.〔 He is married to Angela, with whom he supports sponsor children in several countries.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nathan Brown (writer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
