Pacific Theological Education

I have long had a heart for theological education in the Pacific, particularly Tangintebu Theological College -- the remotest theological college on the planet, where my father served as Chaplain. In the early 2000s I visted them, and became their envoy, to look at options for upgrading the college. In the process I upgraded myself. Today, it is a privilege for me that, without my seeking it, students at Tangintebu -- some at a high level -- are asking me to comment on their work. It is such interesting work, too. OBSERVATION: I myself declined a call to serve there as Chaplain. The reason: at the time, fund-raising was top of their list of priorities for the Chaplain.
