Peter wishes to announce that ACCESS Ministries, as chaplaincy provider for Victorian state schools, has endorsed him as a school chaplain, and should a chaplaincy position become available nearby, he will be eligible to apply along with others for that position. This is indeed good news. It represents the culmination of eight years of academic work, during which Peter found God’s call more and more amongst children. The kind and gracious words of Peter’s referees played no small part. More on this topic as events unfold.

Dean's Prize
Peter was really chuffed to receive the Whitley College Dean's Prize for Pastoral Studies for 2009. At the college's speech night the prizes were given out and Peter went on stage twice, once for finishing up a course (Grad Dip Pastoral Studies) and again for the prize and cheque. It was very encouraging and motivating for Peter. This year saw the completion of a 12,000 word essay on pastoral care of children. A great experience.

Holiness living
The popular quote "holiness is next to godliness" is an apt way to lead into this post.
Holiness is an obtainable human quality to be aimed for, given by and used by God in the course of the Christian life. Peter has just completed a 'intensive' subject unit for his Whitley Theology course at the Salvation Army Training College just up the road from Whitley College and affiliated with it under the Melbourne College of Divinity.
The unit was called "Foundations of the Wesleyan Holiness Tradition" led by Geoff and Halie Webb, and it coincided with their unofficial book launch on the subject. It was the perfect subject to enrol in for Peter, who was travelling towards the completion of his course without really understanding what 'theology' was all about. The truth of it is that we are all on a journey to figure that one out, but what was gained during these 'intensive' two weeks were many of the tools to analyse a theological position. For Peter, those were "Ah ha" moments that were just in time in the scheme of things.
The picture was taken from the dining floor of the Salvation Army Training college, Parkville, overlooking Whitley College (the circular building), and the city of Melbourne is in the distance.
