(Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan, the United States). Hook retired in 1997 as a minister in the Greater Sydney Conference, Australia. An Australian by birth Hook has served the Church as a teacher at the elementary, academy and college levels, a missionary in Papua New Guinea, and as a local church pastor. In retirement he is a conjoint senior lecturer at Avondale College of Higher Education. He has authoredFlames Over Battle Creek, Avondale: Experiment on the Dora, Desmond Ford: Reformist Theologian, Gospel Revivalist, the Seventh-day Adventist Heritage Series, and many magazine articles. He is married to Noeleen and has two sons and three grandchildren. Avondale University College is the senior tertiary educational institution for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the South Pacific region, located in Cooranbong, New South Wales, Australia. Formerly Avondale College of Higher Education, it was granted Avondale Australian University College status in August 2019. Early Stages When the Australasian Bible School was opened in suburban Melbourne in 1892, it was considered to be a temporary establishment.1 It did not meet the denomination’s self-imposed criteria. Their model school required a rural and agricultural setting, not entirely monastic but certainly isolationist in order to nullify any distractions to the nurturing of a religious life. For two years, 1893 and 1894, a search for an ideal haven was undertaken, chiefly along the proximity to the rail link between Melbourne and Sydney.
