The Pastor’s Heart with Dominic Steele
Across the Western world theological college enrolments are down. Today it’s the third part of a conversation about this problem. Specifically we are focusing on the issues of Sydney.
We’re exploring the joint issues of not enough people putting themselves forward for ministry and the shortage of senior ministers for Sydney’s Anglican Churches.
Moore Theological College Lecturer Mark Earngey and St George North Assistant Minister Mike Leite have been researching for several years the underlying issues that have contributed to the Sydney minister drought.
Mike’s responsible for editing the recently released booklet ‘Sydney Anglican Ministry.’ Mark is behind the latest edition of the Australian Church Record Journal.
Plus we review the important ‘From Sydney to the World’ online conference held on the weekend, which was aimed at putting recruiting for ministry back on the agenda.
