2 weeks to go!!

Sorry I've been gone for a while!!  It has been rather hectic of late - but I finish my degree: Bachelor of Ministry in less than 2 weeks!!  

It has been a journey of six years of study, and probably just a long leading up to the commencement of the study.  I have grown, stretched, broken, re-formed, puzzled, dreamed, been inspired, seen, heard, learned, laughed, cried, befriended, been touched, pondered, mused, cooked, married, eaten, withheld, discovered, emerged...

Thank you to all that have supported me, taught me, rebuked me, heard me, loved me...

Been busy studying

Sorry I haven't been very vocal of late, I have been studying. Got an essay to finish today, plus have 2 email responses and an exam in the next 2 weeks. Fhew!!

I am loving the subject though. It is Theology: Church, Sacraments and Ministry. It has been facinating looking at church strutures, excommunication, females in ministry, worship, prayer, communion, etc. I love reading about why different church groups do things the way they do! It helps me figure out the way I think things should/might go if I did them.

My essay is a theological and biblical response to the Vatican II document lumen gentium, the 'Dogmatic Constitution of the Church'. I have really enjoyed doing it... 400 more words to go!

Small Groups study on poverty & justice

I found this on the Catalyst website. I am considering using it for my small group from church if they are keen...

This four part guide will help participants explore what it means to build their lives around God's heart for a just world and recover the prophetic vocation of calling on leaders to enact justice. The format is four articles that are read and then discussed. Both the articles and the discussion questions are provided.

Get into it! :)
