Pastoral pursuits

Amanda Meade took another shot at the AFR today in her media column, due to a number of resignations. It's worth noting for the record that I have not "become a Christian pastor." It's an odd statement given that she interviewed me a couple of weeks ago. What is true is that I have begun my studies, a Bachelor of Ministry degree. When completed some 5 to 7 years from now it will qualify me to become a pastor, which under the traditional model means you are employed by a church. Until then, I'm really excited about my freelance journalism career which starts on the other side of Easter.
