5 YARRA THEOLOGICAL UNION

Yarra Theological Union (YTU) was originally founded in 1971 by the Carmelites, the Franciscans, the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart and the Passionists. Over the years other orders joined: the Redemptorists (Australian and New Zealand Provinces), Pallottines, Dominicans, Divine Word Missionaries, the Discalced Carmelites and the Blessed Sacrament Congregation.

On 18th January 1973, YTU was granted formal recognition as an institute of priestly formation by the then Archbishop of Melbourne, James Cardinal Knox. In September 1973, YTU, together with the Catholic Theological College in Clayton and the United Faculty of Theology in Parkville, was approved by the Melbourne College of Divinity (MCD) as a Recognised Teaching Institution (RTI) with the right to teach for the degree of Bachelor of Theology. This was extended to approving the right to teach towards the post–graduate degrees of Master of Theology and Doctor of Theology in 1975. In that same year, the Evangelical Theological Association became the fourth recognised teaching institution of the MCD.

Over recent years YTU (together with the other RTI members of MCD) has extended its teaching programme to provide post–graduate units for candidates for the degrees of Master of Ministry, Doctor of Ministry Studies, Master of Theological Studies, and, from 2000, Graduate Diploma in Theology, Master of Arts and Ph.D. In 1991, YTU and the other RTI members were approved by MCD for teaching towards a double degree of Bachelor of Arts–Bachelor of Theology with the University of Melbourne and with Monash University. YTU offers also a number of YTU Diploma courses.

VISION STATEMENT

Yarra Theological Union is a Catholic centre for theological education and ministerial formation. Drawing from the rich traditions of the constituent religious orders, we enjoy a strong relationship with the broader theological community. Operating from well established facilities, we see ourselves as a key resource for the churches in Australia and our neighbouring countries.

6 MISSION STATEMENT

1. We are an independent centre for theological teaching, research and scholarship offering a number of undergraduate and postgraduate awards under the auspices of the Melbourne College of Divinity.

2. We are shaped by the apostolic energy, spirituality and traditions of the constituent religious orders, and enriched by the continuing generosity of those who take an active part in the life of our centre.

3. We are at the service of the Church, and exercise this service in cooperation with a number of Recognised Teaching Institutions with whom we are affiliated through the Melbourne College of Divinity.

4. We are governed by a Council composed of representatives of the original constituent orders and the President of YTU.

5. We aim for excellence in theological education and ministerial formation in an ecumenical and multicultural context.

6. We have faculty and students from different denominational traditions, and our awards are open to male and female students both lay and professed.

7. We are a hospitable, eucharistic community welcoming those who seek, not only education, but personal and spiritual transformation.

8. We are also a centre for comment and dialogue with the wider society on those matters which fall within our competence.

VALUE STATEMENT

Our Core Values are:

1. Service to church and community. 2. Faithful and continuing interpretation of Catholic Tradition. 3. Theological education and ministerial formation. 4. Hospitality to persons and traditions. 5. Commitment to being a community of scholarship, prayer and pastoral care.

CLOSING DATES FOR POSTGRADUATE ENROLMENTS: 1st Semester – Tuesday 19th February, 2008 2nd semester intake of new students –Thursday, 5th June, 2008

All students who are seeking FEE–HELP, or who are continuing with FEE–HELP, must complete an application form. You will need your TAX FILE NUMBER to complete the form.

13 FEE – HELP

Students in any MCD course who are Australian citizens, or hold a permanent humanitarian visa, can now have their tuition fees met by a loan from the Commonwealth Government. The scheme – brought in under the Higher Education Support Act (HESA, 2003) – is called the Higher Education Loan Program: FEE– HELP for short.

NB: All students who accessed PELS (Postgraduate Education Loans Scheme) in 2004 are also eligible for FEE–HELP, even if they are not Australian citizens.

To apply for a FEE–HELP loan, you must fill in the Government form and send it to the MCD office by March 14th (at the latest) or August 8th (for new, second semester applications). Forms and FEE–HELP information are available from RTI and MCD offices. Your fees will be paid to the MCD office by the Commonwealth, and your RTI will receive payment for your classes and library use.

Before you apply for a loan, please note carefully, the following:

a) For undergraduate courses (BTheol, AdvDipMin, DipMin) the Government adds a 20% loan fee to your tax liability (e.g., a unit costing $698 will incur a tax liability of $837.60 per unit). For postgraduate courses (GradCert, GradDips, Masters, Doctorates) only the amount borrowed is subject to repayment. Only take out a loan for complete units for which you are enrolled (e.g., request a loan for one, two or three units but not fractions).

b) You must have a Tax File Number to apply for a FEE–HELP loan.

c) Your loan is repaid through the tax system. When your income reaches $39,825 (in 2008 Australian dollars, indexed upward each June) you pay a proportion back with your tax. The higher your income, the higher the repayment proportion, starting at 4.0%. Voluntary early repayments over $500 receive a discount of 10%. Your FEE–HELP tax liability goes up by CPI on June 1st each year. If someone with a FEE–HELP debt dies, only the repayment due in that tax year is billed: the rest is cancelled.

d) The Government requires that, before you sign the FEE–HELP form, you must read the FEE–HELP Information booklet so that you are aware of your obligations under the scheme. If you participate in FEE– HELP, your details will be listed in DEST’s Higher Education Information Management System (HEIMS), and you will receive a Commonwealth Higher Education Student Support Number (CHESSN), which remains unique to you for life.

14 For further information: • Read the FEE–HELP Information 2008 Booklet. • Visit the GOING TO UNI Website at: www.goingtouni.gov.au • Call the FEE–HELP enquiry line on 1800 020 108.

The administration at the MCD and RTI offices take your right to privacy seriously, and only use information you provide for the purpose for which you give it to us. The top page of the FEE–HELP form includes your Tax File Number, which will be seen by only two people in the MCD office: your RTI office will keep a copy of the second page, which does not include your TFN.

For further information: Read the FEE–HELP Information Booklet Visit the Going to Uni website at: www.goingtouni.gov.au Call the FEE–HELP enquiry line on 1800 020 108.

15 FEES AND OTHER COSTS

The following contributions and fees are payable at enrolment:

Undergraduates

Voluntary Student Contribution

YTU invites all audit and coursework students to make a voluntary contribution of $35 per semester to subsidise the cost of providing the following services:

• Student ID Card • Student Common Room Facilities (Tea, Coffee etc) • SRC Social Functions • Incidental Photocopy Costs (handouts from lecturers) (This does not include ‘Book of Readings’, where applicable.)

Details of contributions requested will be outlined fully on the invoice.

Handbook: $15.00

The following fees are payable upon receipt of invoice, or through the FEE–HELP Scheme:

UNIT FEES: B.Theol: $698.00 per unit of study Audit: $400.00 per unit of study

These fees are due and payable in advance to Yarra Theological Union. No extra fees apply – library/borrowing fees are included.

No refund of fees apply after the end of the third week of lectures; census dates for 2008 are: 14th March for 1st Semester, and 8th August for 2nd Semester.

Itemised invoices will be processed at Enrolment. Those students who withdraw from the unit before the census dates will be required to pay an administration fee of $60.

MCD regulations require accounts to be paid in full before results are released or the next semester’s enrolment is confirmed.

Bursaries for Tuition: Fees for all MCD awards from 2005 onwards are set by the MCD, and must be equal across each student group, to accord with recent Commonwealth legislation. This has led to a rise in undergraduate fees.

16 To assist students, an MCD Bursary Fund has been established. It has limited funds available, but further donations are being sought (these are tax deductible).

The criteria to be used when allocating bursaries include sources of support available to students and each student’s progress thus far, as well as a student’s need for tuition fee support. Applications are treated in strict confidence.

To apply for assistance, submit a completed application form to the Academic Dean (Application forms are available from the Registrar.).

Fee reductions can also be negotiated in cases of need or hardship. Application forms are available from the Registrar.

Handbook: $15.00

20 YOUR RIGHTS AS AN MCD STUDENT

You have the right to privacy. The Yarra Theological Union supports and endorses the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 and will comply with these principles whenever personal information is collected by us. In accordance with the National Privacy Principles

● YTU will only collect personal information from you with your prior knowledge and consent; ● YTU will only use personal information provided by you for the purposes for which it was collected; ● YTU will not disclose your personal information to a third party without your consent; ● YTU will not disclose your personal information to other institutions and authorities except if required by law or other regulation; ● YTU will remove personal information from its records when it is no longer required (except where archiving is required); ● YTU have processes and policies to protect the personal information that it has under its control from: ● unauthorised access; ● improper use; ● alteration; ● unlawful or accidental destruction and accidental loss.

Because YTU students are enrolled in MCD degree and diploma programmes, a certain amount of information needs to be exchanged between the YTU office and the MCD, and on occasions other RTIs of the MCD.

You have the right to the highest standards of teaching and learning. In order to protect the high academic standing of your MCD degree or diploma, all forms of cheating, plagiarism or other academic fraud (including illegitimate use of internet resources) are strictly forbidden, and anyone found engaging in them faces serious consequences. To assist with this, you are required to state on each assignment that it is your own work.

You have the right to be treated fairly in all academic and administrative matters. If you have a grievance about an administrative procedure or academic issue, you have five working days (longer for some serious matters) to lodge a complaint with the Dean of YTU, or with the MCD Registrar. You will not be disadvantaged by doing this, and in most cases can expect a resolution within ten working days.

21 You have the right to be safe, and to feel safe, in MCD environments. Harassment in any form – spiritual, sexual or discriminatory (e.g. on the grounds of race, gender, ethnicity, disability, theological outlook) – is wrong, and not permitted. There is provision for dealing confidentially, effectively, and justly with any harassment that may occur within YTU. Assistance may be sought from advisors who are appointed from outside YTU. Full details of the policy and contact people will be available from the YTU office in February 2008.

Finally, once you have commenced a degree or diploma with the MCD, you are assured that MCD educational and financial resources are in place to see you through to its completion. If the highly unlikely situation arises that the MCD cannot deliver a course for which you have paid fees, these will be refunded, or you can transfer to another provider, nominated for this purpose by the MCD. Detailed policies and procedures governing these matters can be found on the MCD website, www.mcd.unimelb.edu.au under ‘Policies for MCD student well–being’.

DISABILITY

The YTU acknowledges many classrooms currently offer no provision for people with disabilities. Students with disabilities are asked to make their particular needs known to the YTU Dean either at their initial interview or at enrolment, so that every effort can be made to accommodate these needs.

22 GENERAL COURSE REQUIREMENTS (DEGREES & DIPLOMAS)

1. ENTRANCE The normal entrance requirement for diplomas and degrees is satisfactory completion of a Year 12 programme of study at a secondary school or equivalent.

2. LENGTH OF COURSE i) MINISTERIAL CANDIDATES Individual Orders specify for their students which units are required for their ministerial candidates. ii) NON–MINISTERIAL CANDIDATES The length of course depends on the programme chosen.

3. STUDENTS FOR WHOM ENGLISH IS A SECOND LANGUAGE International Students pursuing Undergraduate Studies at the MCD need to have achieved an average International English Test Score (IELTS) of at least 6.5 with no band under 6.0.

International students pursuing Graduate Studies at the MCD need to have achieved an average International English language Test Score (IELTS) of at least 7.0, with a minimum of 6.5 in each area. In the MCD office, overseas student matters are the responsibility of the MCD Registrar, and administered by the MCD Executive Assistant to the Dean.

4. INTRODUCTION TO TERTIARY STUDIES IN THEOLOGY AM1000: Introduction to Tertiary Studies in Theology, will be offered in 2008. This unit is offered for one hour per week in both semesters, and is strongly recommended for students who have not done tertiary study. No fee is charged.

5. STUDY LOAD The workload of an undergraduate student shall be a maximum of four (4) units per semester. This is a B.Theol. regulation. Any exception to this requirement must be approved by the Academic Dean. As a guide to students and lecturers, YTU accepts a system of demand hours. One class hour is considered as demanding two hours of private study for the average student.

6. ATTENDANCE AT LECTURES AND TUTORIALS Attendance at lectures and tutorials is required. Attendance at the first lecture is particularly important. Students unable to attend a lecture must bring this to the attention of the lecturer.

23 Students who miss the equivalent of two weeks of class must make arrangements with the lecturer for supplementary work if they wish to be assessed for the unit.

7. ASSESSMENT MCD Board of Undergraduate Studies guidelines advise the following regarding assessment:

First Level: receipt of early feed–back via a piece of work not substantially counting towards assessment; assessment of more than one piece of work including a component under formal examination conditions; written work not in excess of 4,000 words.

Second Level: written work requirement is 4,000–5,000 words.

Third Level: written work requirement is 4,500–6,000 words (in consultation with the Chair of the Field).

Each student will be assessed in the manner indicated in the particular unit outlines in this Handbook, and in accordance with B.Theol. regulations where appropriate.

Results are published according to the following grades for all MCD degrees:

High Distinction = 85% + Distinction = 75% – 84% Credit = 65% – 74% Pass = 50% – 64% F = Fail: 0% – 49% W = Withdrawal

Assessment Registration In the first three weeks of the semester, students can withdraw from assessment without penalty. (No mark will appear on their record).

Up to four weeks before the last day of lectures in each semester, students can withdraw from assessment and they will be marked 'W' on their official transcript. Those who withdraw after this date will be marked 'F' (Fail).

Assignments Assignments must be presented in the format prescribed in the Style Sheet. They must be submitted by the date determined by the lecturer. The last day for assignments to be handed in is the last day of the examination session at the end of each semester. Any extension of time must be requested from the lecturer at least two days before the date on which the assignment is due.

24 Students should keep a second copy of all assignments submitted. Students should keep copies of all written work for at least three months because all written materials that contribute toward assessment in degree units must be available for possible inspection by a second examiner outside YTU.

All essays and assignments must be submitted with an official cover–sheet – available outside the Dean’s office.

No assignments will be accepted by the office fax or email.

Extensions of time (B.Theol., Adv.Dip.Min. and Dip.Min.) When a substantial proportion of a student's work has been satisfactorily completed, extensions may be granted at the discretion of the lecturer. Ordinarily, an extension can only be given for two weeks beyond the examination week. Any extension beyond that date is referred to the Dean by the lecturer. The Dean’s extension is recorded as an ’E’ on the student's transcript. Other than in exceptional circumstances, as approved by the Dean of the RTI, students with this designation are required to complete the assigned requirements no later than the first day of Semester 2, or the end of January for a second semester extension.

If a student has not sought an extension but still hands in a piece of work after the due date, and the lecturer accepts the late work, a penalty will be enforced. The work is assessed by the lecturer and the student is penalised by one grade. For example, a credit assessment will be recorded as a pass.

Normally, if the student has not handed in the assignment at the time all marks are due at the RTI office, a failure will be recorded on the student’s transcript.

Examinations Unmarked and unannotated copies of the Revised Standard Version (RSV) or the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) must be used for all examinations in Biblical Studies.

Students for whom English is a second language. Students for whom English is a second language may take extra time for each written examination. In the first year of study, students are allowed fifty percent extra time. In subsequent years of study, students are allowed twenty five percent extra time. Such students may take a dictionary into the examination.

25 Plagiarism

An essay must be your own work and largely written in your own words. Plagiarism comes from the Latin plagiarus/kidnapper. Plagiarism is considered serious academic misconduct. No part of the work may be copied in whole or part from another student’s work, or from any other source (e.g. published books, periodicals or internet) without due acknowledgement of the source.

A student who is found to have sought to gain an unfair advantage by submitting for assessment a piece of written work which either in whole or in part makes unacknowledged use of, or reference to, the work of others, including Internet sources or by taking into an examination room unauthorized material, or by copying the work of another candidate in an examination, shall be liable to:

• failure of the unit for which the written work or examinations was undertaken, or • the loss of all marks for the written work or examination, or • suspension of candidature for the degree.

26 BACHELOR OF THEOLOGY (PASS DEGREE): B.THEOL.

GENERAL INFORMATION The Melbourne College of Divinity regulations for the Bachelor of Theology may be found on the M.C.D. website: www.mcd.unimelb.edu.au

The degree is recognised as a degree by legislation of the Parliament of Victoria under terms of the Melbourne College of Divinity Act (1910–1979).

The degree has been recognised by a number of post–secondary institutions in Victoria and interstate for the purpose of credit towards their degrees. It is the responsibility of those institutions to determine the grounds on which such credit will be given and, in particular, the equivalence or otherwise of subjects completed in the B.Theol. degree to those offered in their degree. If credit is granted, it rarely exceeds one third of the requirements of the degree concerned.

The degree is also recognised by the Secondary Teachers' Registration Board for the purpose of registration as a secondary teacher in the State of Victoria. In order to obtain such registration, an appropriate qualification in education must be completed in addition to a recognised degree such as the B.Theol.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS 1.Normal Entry: Qualifications enabling admission to a University in Victoria or equivalent qualification. Satisfactory completion of a Year 12 programme of study at a secondary school normally fulfils this requirement.

2.Probationary Entry Scheme: The MCD has adopted a scheme of probationary entry for mature age students without normal entry requirements who are 21 years of age or over at the beginning of the calendar year in which they enter the scheme, or on 1st July if they begin in 2nd semester.

MCD REGULATIONS FOR THE DEGREE There are four fields of study for the Degree: Field A Humanities; Field B Biblical Studies; Field C Christian Thought and History; Field D Moral and Practical Theology.

(For disciplines within Fields see pp. 37, 45, 60, 83)

27 The principal regulations are:

(i)24 units to complete the degree.

(ii)A minimum of four (4) units in each of Fields B, C and D, which must include:

Two (2) units in Old Testament (Field B) Two (2) units in New Testament (Field B) Two (2) units in Church History (Field C) Two (2) units in Systematic Theology (Field C)

(iii)All candidates must complete either two Majors chosen from within Fields A, B, C or D as approved by the Board of Studies,

OR

One Major to be taken from either Field B or Field C or Field D and two sub–Majors chosen from within Fields A, B, C or D as approved by the Board of Studies.

A Major is six (6) units taken progressively over three levels, normally within one discipline, with at least two (2) units at third level.

A sub–Major is four (4) units taken progressively over two levels, normally within one discipline, with at least two (2) units at second level.

As well as these principal regulations candidates should note that:

(i)a maximum of eight (8) units may be gained in Field A, if candidates elect to do units in this field.

(ii)a maximum of 12 units may be gained in each of Fields B, C, and D.

(iii)at least one (1) unit (15 points) must be gained in any discipline (e.g., Systematic Theology) before points in that discipline can be credited toward the degree.

(iv)at least one (1) unit must normally be passed on each level in a discipline before proceeding to a unit on the next level.

(v)normally not more than three (3) units may be taken in any one discipline in any one year.

(vi)it is possible, with the approval of the Dean, to do a Major or sub–Major with units which are cross–listed in different fields, or belong to different disciplines within a field.

28 ASSESSMENT The method of assessment is specified in each unit description. MCD regulations require approved moderators/second examiners as part of the assessment process.

CREDIT A maximum of eight (8) units may be obtained in credit for degree level work done at other recognised tertiary institutions. A completed degree automatically carries four (4) units of general credit, and another two (2) units credit may be obtained in Field A, depending on the major taken for the degree. For credit to be obtained in the other three fields of study, the units concerned must in the judgement of MCD closely parallel the content of the subject areas within those fields.

The B.Theol. Board of Undergraduate Studies normally limits the granting of credit for individual subjects to those which were completed no less than ten years ago.

SPECIAL YTU REGULATIONS FOR THE DEGREE

SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY MAJOR A Major in Systematic Theology should include: at first level CS1272; at second level at least one of CS2142, CS2151; at third level at least one of CS3015, CS3025, CS3035, CS3110, CS3121, CS3630.

If a student takes out the award of Diploma in Social Justice and then chooses to advance to a Bachelor of Theology degree, a further sixteen (16) units of study will be required to complete the degree.

35 UNIT NUMBERING SYSTEM

The main reason for the numbering system is to indicate the levels of the various units, i.e. Level One, Level Two and Level Three.

To explain more fully by means of examples:

BN1020 New Testament I:

B indicates that the unit is in Field B. N = New Testament. The first figure '1' indicates that it is a Level One unit. The second, third and fourth figures are the proper numbers for the unit itself.

CS2142 Who is this Christ

In Field C, and under the discipline of Systematic Theology, (C+S = CS) this is a Level Two unit.

DT2341/3341 Human Sexuality and Marriage

In Field D, (D+T=DT) and under the discipline of Moral Theology, this unit can be taken at Level Two or Level Three.

CH4159 Saints and Sanctity in Church Society I

In Field C, and under Church History, (C+H=CH) this is a Level Four unit.

Minimum Number: Where "Min. No." (normally six (6) students) accompanies a unit description this means that the unit will be offered if the minimum number of students is enrolled.

1st semester, daytime. Crosslisting DT1410. (Min. No.: 6)

AIM To gain a better understanding of the Church's mission through a study of the various models of missionary activity that the Church has used in the past when encountering peoples new to her and of the ones she uses today.

CONTENT This unit will study not only the ways in which the Church has spread the Gospel to peoples who had not yet heard of Christ in the past but also the ways that she is doing so in today's world. The reasons why the Church through ancient, medieval and modern times has chosen different ways of being faithful to her universal mission will be analysed by locating these models in their historical and/or contemporary setting. Since not all models can be considered, representative and creative ones will be chosen and analysed.

METHOD Lectures and discussions: three (3) hours per week.

ASSESSMENT Written tutorial work 1500 words (40%); essay 2500 words (60%).

67 CH2915/3915 ART HISTORY AND SPIRITUALITY IN WESTERN EUROPE, 1300–1500

1st semester, evening. Crosslisting DT2915/3915. (Min. No.: 6)

AIM The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries have been described as an era “imbued with an intense desire to visualize salvation”. In this unit we will trace how visual images both shaped and reflected spiritual life in Western European cities during the late Middle Ages. We focus first on how devotion to Christ, the Virgin Mary, and figures such as St Catherine of Alexandria and St Sebastian provided images of familial support amid childbirth, sickness and economic crisis. Then we examine the patrons and the largely urban audience who delighted in these “images of salvation”. The unit shows how laypeople, particularly women such as Beguines and female tertiaries, cultivated affective spirituality in response above all to preaching by members of monastic and mendicant orders.

CONTENT Topics will include: Imagery of the Cult of the Virgin; Iconography of Christ's passion and Female Devotion; Visual Culture in Monastic and Mendicant Churches; Visualizing Prayer: Books of Hours and Female Piety; The Altarpiece as Devotional Experience; Flemish Altarpieces in the National Gallery of Victoria.

PREREQUISITES Level 2: One unit in History or Spirituality. Level 3: Two units in History or Spirituality.

METHOD Lecture, discussion of visual images and texts: three (3) hours per week.

ASSESSMENT Level 2: Written assignment: 3000 word research essay (75%); one oral report comparing two images and the spirituality they express (25%). Level 3: Written assignment: 4000 word research essay (75%); one oral report comparing two images and the spirituality they express (25%).

69 CS1272 FAITH, REVELATION AND THEOLOGY (Melb. Univ. 920–145 Introduction to Systematic Theology) Foundational Unit at Graduate Level: CS3272. (Min. No.: 6) 1st semester, day. B.Theol/Undergraduate. 2nd semester, evening: Graduate Level.

CONTENT The unit considers faith simultaneously as a graced and universal human phenomenon. A distinction is made between faith and the beliefs which inform it and give it a specific focus. The role of the Judaeo–Christian scriptures in `informing' faith is also addressed. Next, revelation is presented as simultaneously theocentric and a universal human phenomenon with a variety of historical manifestations. The theocentric focus of revelation provides the broader context in which Christian revelation is situated, especially as it has been manifested through the Scriptures. Finally, with faith and revelation as the originating experiences out of which theology emerges, the unit concludes with a consideration of the nature and methods of contemporary theologies.

METHOD Lectures, raising pivotal questions, small group exercises, class interaction and written assignment. three (3) hours per week.

ASSESSMENT: B.Theol: Weekly summary of readings (20%); two theological reflection papers (1000 words each (2x15%), plus 1500–2000 word essay (50%).

Graduate Level: Two theological reflection papers (1000 words each), plus 2000 word essay. Critical Review of Roger Haight, Dynamics of Theology – 1500 words.

70 1CS2110/3110 ESCHATOLOGY: LIVING IN HOPE

2nd semester, afternoon. (Min. No.: 6) At Kilbreda College, 118 Mentone Parade, Mentone. Thursdays – 4.00pm start

AIM To highlight the critical importance of an eschatological perspective in the doing of theology and in the practice of the Christian life.

CONTENT The unit situates eschatology in the centre of Christian theology and demonstrates the integrative function of the theology of hope. The eschatological emphases of the Scriptures are presented with particular attention to the Reign of God as the organising image. The unit examines the activity of God in Humanity and in its history focusing on Christ as the meaning of this history. Within this context the eschata are retrieved as symbols of Christian hope that are operative in life, present in death and expressions of life through death. Consequently, Praxis is treated as an expression of this hope and a way to the future. The opportunity will be taken at different moments in the course to look at special questions like the theology of time and eternity, millenarianism, and the relationship between eschatology and ecology.

PREREQUISITES Level 2: CS1022 or CS1272 and two units at Level 1 in Biblical Studies. Level 3: Two units of CS at Level 2.

METHOD Lectures, raising pivotal questions, small group exercises, class interaction, tutorial leadership and participation and written assignments. three (3) hours per week.

ASSESSMENT: Level 2: An essay of 2500 words (70%); class presentation 1500 words (30%). Level 3: An essay of 3500 words (70%); class presentation 2000 words (30%).

71 CS2142/3142 WHO IS THIS CHRIST?

2nd semester, evening. (Min. No.: 6)

AIM To introduce students to systematic reflection upon Jesus Christ by examining the Christologies of the New Testament, of the early Patristic era, and subsequently. Particular attention will be paid to the Christologies of today.

CONTENT This unit goes to the heart of all Christian theology. It leads those studying it to systematic reflection on the life, person, mission and ministry of Jesus Christ, the founder of Christianity. It highlights his vocation to live, love, work, suffer and die for the coming of the reign (Kingdom) of God. It starts with a survey of current impressions of Him before going on to distinguish between the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith. This leads to an enquiry on the scope, limits and achievements of the quest for the historical Jesus. In turn this opens out into a consideration of the following themes: – the world of Jesus, the reign of God in his mission, message and actions; his crucifixion and death; his resurrection and its impact on the Jesus movement; New Testament interpretations; his identity in history and tradition; some special questions; his role as liberator and saviour; and his continuing relevance for the Church and the world.

PREREQUISITES Level 2: CS1272 or CS1022, BN1020. Level 3: One unit of CS at Level 2.

METHOD Lectures and seminars: three (3) hours per week.

ASSESSMENT Level 2: A weekly review of Reading (10%); an essay of 2000 words (40%); take–home exam of 2000 words (50%). Level 3 A weekly review of Reading (10%); an essay of 2500 words (40%); take–home exam of 3000 words (50%).

72 CS2153/3153 BAPTISM, CONFIRMATION, AND EUCHARIST: CHRISTIANS MADE NOT BORN

2nd semester, daytime. Crosslisting DT2753/3753. (Min. No.: 6)

CONTENT This unit will investigate the history, meaning and value of the three sacraments of initiation in the churches, known today as ‘Baptism’, ‘Confirmation’ and ‘Eucharist’. It will also consider what is needed for their effective celebration today. It will start with an enquiry into the situation of the contemporary Church and world, because this is the context in which those sacraments are celebrated. Against that background it will explore the following phases of their history, meaning and value: 1. New Testament origins of the Sacraments of Initiation; 2 Patristic and Medieval Phases, including the Scholastic Period; 3 The Reformation and Post–Reformation; and 4 Christian Initiation Today. Ecumenical Consensus, Convergence and Differences.

73 CS2158 SIGNS & GOD’S GIFTS: SACRAMENTS OF LIFE & CHURCH

1st semester, evening. Crosslisting DT2558. (Min. No.: 6)

CONTENT The unit aims to present with ecumenical sensitivity the origin, meaning and purpose, of the Christian sacraments. It gives a central and overarching emphasis to the Church as the sacrament of Jesus Christ, and to its role in the coming of the reign of God. In this context, it presents an understanding of sacraments as signs and symbols of the loving presence and self-giving of God. Its starting-point is an exploration and analysis of a range of common human experiences as possible paths to the mystery of God. In turn this leads to an emphasis on the sacramental principle which St Ignatius Loyola called “seeing God in all things”. The seven ritual sacraments of the Church are presented as saving and transforming actions of Christ (in the Holy Spirit). So in overview, baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist are treated as initiating and sustaining a life-long relationship with him and fellow- disciples; reconciliation and anointing of the sick as signs and sources of healing and wholeness; and holy orders and marriage as call and empowerment for loving service to others and as rites of passage on the Christian journey. Particular attention is paid to their historical origin and development, to their signs and symbols, and to their ritual celebration and pastoral implications.

PREREQUISITES CS1272 or equivalent; two (2) units in Biblical Studies at Level 1.

METHOD Lectures and discussions: three (3) hours per week.

74 CS2221/3221 CHURCH IN CONTEXT

2nd semester, weekends. (Min. No.: 6) Saturday, 26th July & Sunday, 27th July; Sat. 2nd August & Sun. 3rd August; Sat. 20th September & Sun. 21st September: 9.00am – 4.00pm.

CONTENT This unit is designed to elicit in the student a systematic theological understanding of the Church which will provide the functional basis for directing symbolic/liturgical expression as well as kerygmatic social action. The data for a systematic theological understanding of the church comes partly from the human sciences and partly from what can be called “religious experience”. Insofar as the human sciences provide a correct understanding of persons, community, and institutions they also provide a natural analogy for a limited but fruitful understanding of the supernatural and help in differentiating between mystery and myth with respect to an understanding of church. The unit begins with a focus on the Church as a human institution and a consideration of various contributions supplied by the human sciences. A second focus will consider the Church as eschatological community constituted by faith, motivated by charity, and oriented by hope. In this context, further exploration will utilize the open-ended notions of community, mediation, and finality. A systematic understanding, like a good plan, brings together an appreciative and critical assessment of what is the case in the current human situation as well as an intentional grasp of what might be the case. A concluding focus will be on the practical implications of a systematic theological understanding of the Church.

PREREQUISITES Level 2: CS1272 Level 3: CS1272 and either a CS or CH unit at level 2

87 DT2231/3231 LITURGY: THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH

2nd semester, evening. (Min. No.: 6)

AIM This unit will complement the introductory unit Doing and Living the Church’s Liturgy by exploring the tradition and teaching that ground the church’s liturgical praxis. Together these two units offer a broad and sound pastoral introduction to the liturgy as the ‘source and summit’ of the church’s life.

CONTENT The unit will begin with an examination of the nature of the liturgy and its constitutive role in the life of the church. This will lead to consideration of fundamental dimensions of the liturgy such as symbol and ritual, the Word of God, the assembly and the priesthood of the baptized faithful, liturgical ministries, rhythms of time, liturgical space and music, adaptation and enculturation, and the dynamic interplay of liturgy, life and mission. The pastoral application of this learning will be a constant focus throughout the course. In particular students will gain practical experience through the exercise of preparing parish liturgies such as Sunday eucharist and the paschal Triduum.

PRE–REQUISITES Level 2: DT 1225 or equivalent. Level 3: As above, plus CS 2151 or equivalent.

Professional Accreditation A national association, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) accredits those who have completed recognised training in counselling and psychotherapy: Associations, not individuals, join PACFA – individuals join professional associations and in that way become linked to PACFA. The Graduate Diploma in Counselling completes the minimum 200 hours of theoretical training required by PACFA. It also requires the student to begin the process of accruing the minimum 50 hours of supervision required by any PACFA accredited association: fifteen of these hours must be completed before the conferral of the Graduate Diploma. [The remaining 35 hours must be completed by the student before becoming eligible to join a PACFA accredited association.]

Outcomes of the Course The course is designed to elicit the following learning outcomes: •deepened awareness of the counsellor's own relational strengths and growth points; • the experience of the self of the counsellor as a vital element in the creation of a therapeutic relationship; • knowledge of the basic attitudes in the development of a counselling rela- tionship; • aptitude in carrying out the elementary and advanced counselling skills; • knowledge of the dynamics of human relationships (including couple and family) and ways of dealing with blocks in these relationships;

138 •competence in helping clients plan change in their lives; • the place of the counsellor's and client's belief system in the heal- ing process of counselling; • knowledge of and beginning ability to work with typical human problems: loss and grief, depression, relationship issues, violence; • ability to work constructively within a supervisory relationship and the re- cognition of the importance of ongoing supervision as essential to good practice.

How much does the GradDipCouns cost in 2008? Application (non refundable) $150

With one exception, each GradDipCouns 15-point unit costs one PG ‘unit fee’ ($936 in 2008): this fee includes all teaching, assessment and library access. The exception is Advanced Practicum in Counselling II, which costs 2.5 fee units ($2,340 in 2008) to cover the charges involved in professional supervision. Part-time students are charged by the number of units studied each semester.

Can my tuition fees be put on FEE-HELP? Yes – if you are an Australian citizen, or hold a Permanent Humanitarian visa, you are eligible for a Commonwealth Government FEE-HELP loan. The Commonwealth pays the MCD for your studies; your loan is repaid through the tax system once their taxation income reaches around $38,000.

The MCD recommends that all eligible GradDip Counselling students consider FEE- HELP seriously: the scheme ensures a stable cash flow to the MCD and the RTIs, and students who make early voluntary repayments on their FEE-HELP loan receive a 10% discount from the Commonwealth, without reducing what is paid to the RTI.

Further details about FEE-HELP are given elsewhere on the MCD web site.

Want to know more? The Application Form is available from the MCD website, but the admission process for this course includes an interview. You are advised to discuss your proposed enrolment with:

139 GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN THEOLOGY [SPECIALISATION: FAITH LEADERSHIP]

The Graduate Diploma in Faith Leadership is a newly approved specialisation in the Graduate Diploma in Theology (Special). Six units of study (90 points) are needed to complete the award which includes four required units and two elective units, or (Option 2) four required units and a 12,000 word research essay.

Four Required Units: DT 3707 Leadership in a Faith Community CS3356 A Faith to Live By DT2515 Faith, Religion and Spirituality in Contemporary Society DP330 Educating and Ministering Through Life Passages

Two Elective Units: Option 1: Two (2) elective units chosen in consultation with the Coursework Coordinator. Articulation from the completion of the four required and two elective units is to the MA (coursework).

Option 2: Four (4) required units and a 12,000 word research essay. Articulation is to the MA (Research). Alternatively, if the candidate has a BTheol then she/he may articulate to an MTheol. In both cases, articulation is dependent on the research essay being assessed at ‘Distinction’ or higher.

140 MASTER OF THEOLOGICAL STUDIES (MTS) [SYNTHESIS PROGRAMME]

Regulation 19.3 currently allows for three options, other than approved units, to be included in the coursework for the MTS degree. YTU offers the following flexible application of these options which seeks to respond to the different ministerial emphases of the various Religious Orders with candidates studying at YTU. The synthesis programme is available to all students.

Students may gain up to 60 points from appropriate combinations of the following: 1. Supervised ministry/pastoral placement(s) 2. A theologically inter-disciplinary synthesis 3. An oral examination

The combination chosen in each instance is to suit the academic, pastoral, ministerial and theological needs of the individual student and, where applicable, the pastoral and ministerial orientation (or charism) of the Religious Order of the candidate. In each case, the program will be approved, following consultation with their academic advisor, by:

• The YTU Coordinator of Postgraduate Studies, or for Undergraduates • The Academic Dean of YTU.

The following combinations are envisaged: 1. (a) Two supervised pastoral/ministry placements or an extensive placement (30 points), plus (b) a synthesis of 10,000-12,000 words (30 points) which is to be a theologically inter-disciplinary engagement with the student's experience of ministry placement.

2. (a) One supervised pastoral/ministry placement (15 points), plus a 10,000-12,000 word synthesis (30 points), as in Option 1 above, plus (b) an oral exam (15 points) of one hour based on the synthesis, before a Board of two examiners approved by the Board of Postgraduate Studies, to include, where applicable, a member of the Religious Congregation of which the student is a member.

3. (a) One supervised pastoral/ministry placement (15 points), plus (b) a 10,000 to 12,000 word synthesis (30 points), theologically inter-disciplinary and praxis-based.

4. (a) A theologically inter-disciplinary synthesis of 10,000 – 12,000 words (30 points), plus (b) An oral examination of one and a half hours, based on the synthesis (30 points), before a Board of three examiners approved by the Coursework Studies Committee, to include, where applicable, a member of the Religious 141 Order of which the student is a member.

The four possible combinations listed above, while including pastoral, ministerial, and academic dimensions, allow for different emphases in each of these areas.

The following is one possible implementation of the synthesis programme for the MTS.

The Synthesis programme will be undertaken in three stages.

The First Stage, which the student will complete before leaving home base, will require writing, under the direction of the Co-ordinator/Advisor, a paper of 2,500 words setting out: • The student's.present understanding of mission, indicating briefly the scriptural and dogmatic basis for their understanding. • The expectations that the student has for their cross-cultural experience in mis- sion and ministry, covering transition to the appointed place and work; the ap- pointed task and transition back to the seminary and/or YTU.

The Second Stage, covering one year (at least ten months with 30 hours ministry per week) will require the student to: • Keep a journal recording important events, issues and impressions, and reflec- tions on culture and religious life; retain notes used for classes or homilies. • Meet regularly with their supervisor and keep a written record of those meetings. • Gather relevant documentation, especially monographs on the people with whom the student works, and their religious and/or community life. • Present to the Co-ordinator/Advisor at the end of the Second Stage a paper of 2,500 words, drawing on the student's journal and reports, and containing a re- cord of and reflection on the significant events and issues from their year of cross-cultural ministry.

The Third Stage (on the student's return to YTU) will be given over to writing a Synthesis of 10,000 – 12,000 words under the direction of the Co-ordinator/Advisor. The Synthesis will include: • A statement of the student's present understanding of mission, spelling out how the year of cross-cultural ministry has influenced that understanding. • Within the statement the student will spell out in detail the scriptural and dogmat- ic foundations (covering such areas as God, Christ, Church, sacraments and eschatology) of their theology of mission. • When the combination chosen is Option 2 above, there will be an oral examina- tion based on the Synthesis.

142 SUPERVISED READING UNITS

The unit should be in some area of the discipline not already covered by the unit offerings at YTU, or, if covered, not being offered in the year the reading unit is done.

150 STYLE SHEET

Unless otherwise indicated by the lecturer, the following guidelines should be used when writing essays and assignments.

LAYOUT

1. Essays are to be typed on A4 paper, but only one side of the paper should be used; typing should be double–spaced. For papers to be hand–written, prior permission of the lecturer is required. A margin of three centimetres should be allowed on the left side of the page for the comments of the marker.

2. A title sheet, available from the office, must be attached to each piece of work submitted.

3. If the essay is divided into distinct sections or chapters, there should also be a list of contents, giving page references. Pages should be numbered, top right corner. The first page is counted, but not usually numbered.

4. A synopsis of the essay on a separate page is to precede the work proper. This does not apply to short papers.

5. Quotations included in the text of the essay should be indicated by quotation marks for shorter pieces. Lengthy quotations (four lines or more) should be indented and single spaced so that they stand separate from the text. Quotation marks are then unnecessary.

6. Scriptural references are given in brackets in the text of the essay.

7. Details of references are given either in a footnote (at the bottom of the page) or gathered together at the end of the essay as endnotes. Either form may be used. The number in the text should be placed at the end of the sentence to which it applies and raised one space to distinguish it from the rest of the text. Footnotes and endnotes are single spaced; they should be numbered consecutively throughout the essay.

8. Where a note is exactly the same as the preceding one put ibid., e.g. ibid., 167 (Ibidem is Latin for "the same".)

9. Where a note refers to a work quoted earlier, it is sufficient to give the author's name, an abbreviated title of the work, and the page, e.g. from the first example given below, Westermann, Genesis, 2,169–181. This usage is to be followed rather than op.cit. or art.cit.

151 10. Punctuation. As well as the normal rules of punctuation, the following should be used:

." (full stop inside quotation marks at end of quotation). ," (comma always inside quotation marks). "; ": (semi–colon and colon remain outside quotation marks. ?" (when the quotation itself is a question). "? (if the student is questioning the actual quoted material). ..." (matter omitted from within a quotation).

11. Foreign words should be underlined/italicized, except those in their proper script such as Greek and Hebrew.

12. Appendices are added at the end of the essay, before the bibliography.

13. A bibliography, appropriately set out, completes the essay. See below.

14. Italics, used for book titles, titles of periodicals/journals, etc. are represented by underlining when italic type is not available.

SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES

1. Abbreviations of biblical books are not followed by a full stop. Accordingly:

OT Gen Exod Lev Num Deut Jos Jgs Ruth 1–2 Sam 1–2 Kings 1–2 Chr Ezra Neh Tob Jdt Esth 1–2 Macc Job Ps(s) Prov Qoh Song Wis Sir Isa Jer Lam Bar Ezek Dan Hos Joel Amos Obad Jon Mic Nah Hab Zeph Hag Zech Mal

NT Mt Mk Lk Jn Acts Rom 1–2 Cor Gal Eph Phil Col 1–2 Thess 1–2 Tim Tit Phlm Heb Jas 1–2 Pet 1–2–3 Jn Jude Rev

2. References are written normally with a colon between chapter and verse(s), and a semi–colon separating one reference from another: e.g. Mt 16:16; Mk 8:29; Lk 9:20. Sometimes, when a part only of a verse is referred to, `a' or `b' may be added according as to whether the first or second part is concerned: e.g. Mt 16:16b; Rom 5:12a.

152 FOOTNOTES/ENDNOTES and BIBLIOGRAPHY

While footnotes/endnotes and bibliographical entries are similar in appearance, the following details of variation should be noted and followed.

Bibliography. Books are listed alphabetically, according to authors' surnames. Order: surname of author, initial(s), or given name(s) [full stop]. Book title (underlined/italicized)[full stop]. Place of publication [colon]: publisher [comma], date [full stop]. Other information—name of series in which work is found, editor, total number of volumes, edition—is included between title and place of publication, each followed by a full stop.

Footnotes/Endnotes. Order: initial(s) [full stop] or given name(s), surname [comma], book title (underlined/italicized) followed by publishing details in parentheses (place of publication [colon]: publisher [comma], date) followed by appropriate volume and page reference [full stop]. Other information — name of series, editor, number of particular volume used, edition — is included between title and publishing details, each followed by a comma.
