Preacher: Abel van der Veer
At Open Icon Baptist Church, we value great preaching — preaching that engages deeply, humbly and honestly with Jesus, the Bible, and the pain and joy of living in the real world. And since going permanently online, we have been able to welcome great preachers from all over the world without having to wait for them to visit our shores. Click here to meet the inspirational preachers depicted in the gallery above, none of whom have preached for us!

Abel van der Veer
Fr Abel van der Veer, OSA, is a retired Catholic priest belonging to the Order of Saint Augustine (Augustinians) in Australia. When Fr Abel moved to South Yarra in 2011, he thought he was coming into semi-retirement, having served many years in several Augustinian parishes as well as spending some years as a chaplain to the RAAF. It turned out to be a lot busier than that, and he served as parish priest of St Joseph's South Yarra for some years.
