In the medieval church the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was appointed by the crown in England, needed to receive a pallium from the Pope which represented his ecclesiastical authority. The pallium was thin scarf-like vestment and the last Archbishop of Canterbury to receive one was Thomas Cranmer. Just a few years after receiving his pallium, Cranmer led the Church of England out of papal jurisdiction and by the end of his episcopacy he had done away with sacerdotal vestments entirely. One element of the English Reformation was that the appointment of an Archbishop of Canterbury no longer required the validation or support of an external ecclesiastical authority.

Each year, Moore College Undergraduate Students join small ‘service teams’ for things like School Scripture Teaching, First Year Orientation and Chapel. One of the Student Service Teams is specially dedicated to serving Moore Distance students. If you are coming to the Distance Graduation, you will see them there. They help out behind the scenes in different ways. Last we appreciated their help with proofreading the PTC multiple choice questions and feedback. The 2019 team is working on some ideas we have to improve the Online Learning Environment.
We asked Kimjeng, in second year, why she chose the Distance Service Team and this is what she said… “I don’t really remember why I joined to be honest. I think it was because I’m passionate about bringing the Bible and good Bible teaching everywhere. I’m keen to see more lay people equipped with good theology. I like it because it’s outward focused. There also aren’t very many meetings and that’s great for me. I had zero background of PTC before [starting at] Moore. I’d always heard good things though. And people I respected had done some courses, so I knew it must have been good.”
We thank God for our 2019 Distance Service Team.
