Australian priest and academic, the Very Reverend Canon Dr Greg Jenks, commenced as Dean of St George’s College, Jerusalem in November 2015. To celebrate his appointment—being the first from our region—the Australia & New Zealand Regional Committee agreed to underwrite a full scholarship for an ordination candidate from an Anglican seminary in Australia or New Zealand to attend a Palestine of Jesus course at St George’s College.

Ordination candidates were invited to tell the committee why they would value making a pilgrimage to Israel / Palestine through St George’s College.

The committee awarded the scholarship to Ms Bronwyn Pagram (pictured). She is currently an ordination candidate in the Diocese of Brisbane.

As Dr Jenks has been visiting Australia and New Zealand during August, he was able to announce the scholarship recipient at an alumni and friends gathering held at St Francis’ College in Brisbane on Saturday, 6 August.

St George’s College is the Anglican Centre in the Holy Land and provides opportunities for education, pilgrimage and reconciliation. Its community welcomes Anglicans / Episcopalians and others from all over the world.
