Tony Payne returns as Director of the Centre Christian Living

October 31, 2024 by Moore College

The College is pleased to announce that as part of his role as Lecturer in Christian Thought (Ethics), the Rev Dr Tony Payne will also resume Directorship of Moore College’s Centre for Christian Living (CCL). 

Tony previously served as CCL Director from 2014 to 2019 while completing his PhD on the theological nature, purpose and practice of the “one-another edifying speech” in Christian community in the New Testament, while also continuing his work with Matthias Media. From 2020 until now, he served as ministry trainer and writer-in-residence with Campus Bible Study (CBS) at the University of New South Wales. 

Under Tony’s leadership, CCL launched the popular Centre for Christian Living podcast, which seeks to bring biblical ethics to a range of everyday issues explored in interviews and audio from recent Moore College events, and which is listened to by Christians all over the world. He also organised and chaired a series of interesting seminars on a range of significant issues, including Islam, same-sex marriage and the Holy Spirit. 

Of Tony’s appointment, CCL Acting Director Peter Orr said, “It’s exciting to see Tony return to direct the CCL. His previous experience in the role, together with his insight into the Scriptures, mean he is well-equipped to ensure the CCL continues helping Christians apply biblical ethics to everyday issues.” 

Principal Mark Thompson added, “I am very excited for the next chapter in the life of the Centre for Christian Living. Tony Payne returning as its Director is an excellent development.” 

Of his return, Tony says, 

I’m very much looking forward to taking up the helm at CCL again. It will be like coming home after a long journey overseas: everything will seem very familiar and yet somehow different—not so much because CCL has really changed, but because I’ll be looking at it with fresh eyes. I’m hoping it will be an opportunity to rethink and reenergise the excellent work that CCL has been doing in bringing the truth and goodness of God to the everyday issues we face as his people in the world. 

Please thank God for Peter and his time with CCL, and pray for Tony as he steps back into the role of CCL Director. 

CCL events for 2025 will be announced soon.
