Theological College Visit - STM

It was great to be able to drop in at the Malaysia Theological Seminary in Seremban and to be shown around by my friend, former teacher and past supervisor Paul Barker who now serves on the faculty. STM trains leaders for several denominations - including the Anglicans - in Malaysia and other parts of Asia too.

I really enjoyed seeing the grounds and facilities (and was pleased to see that MacCulloch's landmark biography of Cranmer was in a prominent place in library). It was also great to chat about culture and ministry in South-East Asia over lunch with Paul and Tan Jin Huat, the Academic Dean.

I was greatly encouraged through this visit. A large student body and a gifted, committed faculty are both good reasons to give thanks and to be optimistic about ongoing, faithful gospel ministry in the region.
