The Lord has gifted us with excellent opportunities for training, pre- eminently at Moore College. If we understand our own identity, especially through the history of our Diocese, we will see that this is no accident, but is the result of the labours of the generations before us. Likewise, the work that has been done to evangelise and equip young people has been extraordinary. We thank God for this and for many other blessings which he has given us.

Review: The Mission Before Us
New Part-time Lecturer in New Testament Appointed
The Governing Board of the College has approved the Principal’s nomination of the Rev. Christopher Conyers as a part-time member of the Moore College Faculty from 1 January 2021. Chris is completing his PhD research and expects to submit his thesis, on the role of Genesis 2–4 in the Apostle Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, in December this year.
Prior to embarking on that research, Chris was an Assistant Minister at Narellan Anglican Church. He is married to Susan, and they have five children between the ages of 10 and 2.
Dr Thompson remarked,
‘I am very grateful to Chris for being willing to join the faculty. With a member of our New Testament department suffering poor health, we have a particular need that Chris is well equipped to meet. Chris is a fine man, a good scholar and an effective teacher. I am looking forward to his contribution.’
He will also be working as a part-time assistant in a Sydney parish. Please thank God with us for the provision of Chris and pray that he will be able to smoothly transition from full-time study to these two important ministries.
