During August Dean Greg Jenks has been on an extended visit to Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

While he did not visit every place named on the map above, he did get to Auckland, Brisbane, Grafton, Hamilton, Melbourne and Sydney. There are still a few places waiting for a visit on the next trip, as well as many places in the Pacific and East Asia yet to be visited. The following photograph captures part of the group that turned out on a winter’s evening in historic St Andrew’s Church, Auckland.

During a series of local gatherings, Dean Jenks met with around 200 people. He preached at Sunday services in several cities, as well as meeting with church leaders and partners in theological education across the region.

It was a busy few weeks, but a valuable opportunity to promote the mission of the College as an agency of the Jerusalem Anglican Diocese, and to discuss some of the new directions that will emerge in the next couple of years as the College seeks to serve the local church in the Holy Land, the church across the Middle East, and the wider Anglican Communion.
