Announcement:
This is an announcement from the Training Committee:

The Training Committee wishes to announce that the Anglican Training Institute has been accepted as an associate member of the Asia Theological Association (ATA). ATA is one of the largest accreditation bodies in the world for theological education. It is also a founding member of the International Council for Evangelical Theological Education (ICETE). With this development ATI courses will now undergo the accreditation process with the ATA. The Training Committee is pleased with the ample opportunities now made available to ATI as enhanced strategic partnership, support, and collaboration can now be established with fellow ATA member institutions. ATI is also looking forward to offer more courses and further establish itself as the key training centre for the diocese and beyond. With its Integrated Training model (see prospectus available at atidos.org), ATI provides a clear vocational and educational route for full-time workers throughout the diocese. Those who respond to the calling of God into full-time ministry will be given a chance to be equipped while they gain ministry exposure and experience. The next DCM (Diocesan Certificate of Ministry) enrollment will be in November so for those who are interested please contact your pastor/priest in-charge for further information. (ATI’s website: atidos.org)

February 14, 2013 was an evening of celebration for the Anglican Training Institute (ATI, formerly known as School of Ministry and Mission, SOMM) where 352 people gathered in the Hosanna Hall of All Saints’ Cathedral for the first Graduation and Opening Service. Besides celebrating the achievements of the graduating students and participants who completed the Ambassadors Programme, returning and new students of ATI, as well as new participants of the Ambassadors Programme were warmly welcomed.

The tutors for the Diocesan Diploma of Ministry (DDM), Archdeacon Timothy Mildenhall and wife Kathy were also present.

After a short welcome, the participants were led into singing songs of worship and followed by congratulating speeches via video from the Bishop, the Rt. Revd. Albert Vun and then the Acting Principal of Moore Theological College, the Revd. Dr. Willis Salier. As the Principal, Revd. Lin Khee-Vun outlined the vision of ATI, and introduced how the new Integrated Training will integrate Training with Discipleship, Vocation, Fellowship, Context and Mission. After that, an offering was collected as an act of worshipping the Lord via investing in ‘equipping the saints’.

The Certificate Award then took place, with Revd. Tong awarding the DCM certificates and

Rt. Revd. Tasker the ThC. Bishop Tasker then shared a powerful message from the Word of God taken from the Book of Judges.
