Humility & Power People: Reflections on Stanley Hauerwas and Campus Ministry

A few weeks ago I was able to hear lectures by a prominent American theologian (and favourite of mine) at the University of New South Wales' New College. I was able to speak with him briefly about student ministry. See the link above to read some of my reflections on that conversation.

Jotting down some words of encouragement and challenge for the students in EU ACES. Praying that they might grow in holiness and the love & knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ - this year, after I've left campus, and for the rest of their lives.

EU ACES weekend away is happening on the grounds of this lovely 1847 Methodist church, built on the site of the first Wesleyan chapel in Australia (1817). (Perhaps the vibe will help me acclimatize myself in advance of that famous Methodist's New College Lectures.) (at Castlereagh Academy)
