Graduates were joined by special guests, Bishop Bill Wright DD, Director of Schools, Dr Michael Slattery and Professor Anthony Maher from BBI, The Australian Institute of Theological Education.

Professor Maher addressed the graduates, sharing an analogy of the study of theology “finding a problem in the stream time and time again” but learning to address it in “the river upstream” to find the source of the problem rather than concentrating on a solution.

Bishop Bill shared his experience of theology and his thoughts on what studying theology should mean for the graduates. He shared his joy of having spent the morning opening a new Kindergarten classroom in Wingham, with students “at the beginning of their educational journey” and now the evening with those completing higher studies.

Dr Slattery congratulated the graduates on their commitment to their faith and studies, acknowledging the time and effort from both the graduates and their families to complete the study.

Dr Slattery encouraged the graduates to “Engage in the conversations that need to be had in our Church. Speak the truth in love in your homes, schools and parishes.

“Continue to read what the Pope and the credible theologians are writing and saying. Evangelise and lead others around you.”
