Three years and counting...
It is almost three years since Ally and I arrived in Canada (May 6, 2006) and since I started my first class (May 8, 2006). I now only have 7 classes left in the three years of cohort based in-ministry learning (June 11 is the last class), and then I just have 6 electives left which I will do over part-time the next couple of years.
This past Tuesday was the Graduation Chapel at which graduating students were recognised and awards given to returning students (that's me!). The interesting piece was that I won 2 awards:
The first was the Dr. Stewart Boehmer Scholarship for a student with leadership potential for pastoral ministry
The second was the Yorkminster award for Homiletics, a preaching award for the integration of scripture and culture.
So, that's my highlight of the week. Now back to writing sermons and assignments!

Congratulations bro, that's a very sweet achievement. I don't know who Dr Stuart Boehmer is, but he sounds important. Yorkminster's somewhere near York I think. I've been to York. Big wall, lot's of ghosts. And Yorkshiremen. Crazy Yorkshiremen. They all talk in dry-witted one-liners.
Anyways, big ups from us bro, keep grindin':)
Orsum Jamie - congratulations. That sounds like more than a bit of a highlight.
Unbelievable that 3 years have nearly concluded, but don't think we missed the small print about part-time for the next TWO years :(
Hope you are planning a return to NZ soonish to catch up with everyone!
PS What's with the comment moderation? You got some crazy stalkers?
Ho James you famous fullah. Not sure what all that means but it sounds pretty ex. Cher brother.
We're all really proud of you back in the land of the long nosed bird.
Well done Cobber
