Carolyn Fiander reflects on her experience of studying Master of Counselling at Morling College

Kath Gambell — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 21:45:00 GMT

I believe people are a great litmus test of a place and a culture. Having known people involved in the Counselling course at Morling, I found myself wanting to know more about what they knew, recognising that there was something about them as both people and believers that I was interested in. The same people encouraged me to look into the Master of Counselling course at Morling College, aware that I was contemplating following through on my long-held dream to be a counsellor. So, I attended an open night at the college and I remember experiencing a sense of community that was warm and welcoming as I met lecturers and students. This gave me a sense that, as I was returning to study after 20 years, I would be in good hands in this place.

Why read old books?

Peter Friend — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 00:25:17 GMT

As summer looms and the holidays stretch before us, many of us are hoping to read more books. But what books will we read? Will we read the latest bestsellers? Will we browse bookshops and online catalogues, and read the books that are receiving the latest rave reviews? It’s not a bad method. In fact, reading the “latest and greatest” can be very exciting. But in the next few paragraphs, I want to put forward a case for reading not only new books (even the latest and greatest), but also reading a good number of old – even very old – books.

Halloween: trick, treat or harvest?

How many of us have met a witch? Phil Wyman puts that blunt question to all Christians. Most of us would probably have to say that we haven't. Phil cannot avoid witches because he lives and works as a pastor in Salem, Massachusetts. Salem was the place where witch trials were held in colonial American times, and several people were executed for allegedly being witches. Phil was asked to leave his denomination because he was spotted at a witches' gathering, and it was believed that he had compromised his faith. Funnily enough many of his congregation agreed to join him in exile¹.

8 Reasons Why Summer is Great for Theological Studies Online

Summer is my favourite season of the year. It’s when I get a bit of a break to wind down, think clearly and make happy decisions. I’m also a “learn it all” kind of person and love finding effective ways to learn stuff. I like study - my way, any time I can, and anywhere I feel like it. That’s what makes online studies so great! Theological studies online and on a hammock?! Yes, please! There is something about combining the words Online, Theology and Summer that just makes me smile…
