TESTiMONIALS

Studying theology is a unique discipline and participating in St Mark’s community activities such as daily morning prayer and morning tea was important to complement my academic studies. St Mark’s is a small community where the lecturers are caring, flexible and eager to see students succeed.

This course not only helped my professional development, but I also gained an understanding of the personal ageing journey. The course is practical, covering a wide range of needs within ageing, societal attitudes to ageing and impact throughout communities globally.

I really enjoyed my lectures last year. Two of my lecturers, in particular, just some of the best lectures I've ever had — and I've been exposed to public speaking for a long time. I realise I don't know much about the Bible, despite these years of being in church. It's been a real pleasure taking a critical look of the Old and New Testament, and church history. I really enjoy it.

The staff at Charles Sturt University and the lecturers at St Mark's were cooperative, supportive, and encouraging through the entire degree. First rate professionalism displayed on each and every occasion by both organisations.

A couple of things that have really impressed me about St Mark's is the breadth of experience and understanding and discussion that happens in the classrooms... It doesn't matter if you hold a different opinion; there is room for discussion of even conflicting theological positions in the classroom. That, I think, creates a much more solid and enriching outcome.
