The "day" arrived. Peter had been given set times for when to pick up an academic gown and hood (pink and black), when to register, and when to be seated for the final roll call. As it turned out, Barb finished her shift easily and we got there in plenty of time.Peter did his course mostly at Whitley College which was one of seven theological teaching institutions that come under the umbrella of the Melbourne College of Divinity (MCD) which is having a resurgence of growth and interest. He was one of about thirty-six "graduans" present to receive their Bachelor of Theology award that night. The MCD is a part of the University of Melbourne so the award ceremony was conducted there in Wilson Hall. There were many others there also to receive awards that ranged from diplomas right up to various doctorates, so it was a long affair. Afterward there was a supper.
It was nice for us to share this piece of significant closure, even though an additional course for Peter has already commenced, this time a Grad. Dip. Theol. (Special: Educational Chaplaincy). The academic road continues but there is method to this madness.
