Moore College to offer its own PhD

Apr 29 2015 1:52 PM by Mark Fairfull Back

Moore College is to be the first Anglican College in Australia and one of very few non-university institutions in the country to award its own PhD. The College has been supervising PhDs for many years in conjunction with the University of Sydney and the University of Western Sydney. Now a Moore College PhD will be available.
On 13 April Professor Nicholas Saunders AO, Chief Commissioner of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), informed the College of the decision to grant self-accrediting authority for AQF Level 10 Doctoral Degrees in the field of Philosophy and Religious Studies. This means that Moore College now has the same range of awards as any public or private university — from diploma through to PhD. 
When making the announcement, our Vice Principal and Academic Dean, Dr Colin Bale commented, "I want to thank our Registrar, Rhonda Barry, for the excellent and thorough preparation of the application. The Chief Commissioner noted the high level of co-operation that the Commission had received from the College during the application process. This decision stands the College in very good stead as we prepare for re-registration in 2016.”
Rhonda Barry was thrilled at the news. “It is a recognition of the quality of the work done at the College over many years that this authority has been granted to us. We are looking forward to enrolling the first Moore College PhD students.”
As the College launches this new program, it will offer a Moore College Postgraduate Award which will cover all fees and provide a small living allowance each year for three years. Details and application forms for the PhD program and for this Award will be available shortly on this website.
Our Principal, Dr Mark Thompson, is enthusiastic about this new development. “This will enable us to extend our service of the churches both at home and around the world by providing the best theological preparation possible for their future leaders”, he said

February 1229 A.D.   Council of Toulouse-- "We prohibit laymen possessing copies of the Old and New Testament" Wohlberg, Steve. “Papal Rome Against the Bible.”   White Horse Media. N.d. http://www.whitehorsemedia.com/articles/?d=99#.VJGcA8J0xjo .   Accessed 16 Dec 2014.   From the 1200s to the 1800s, Papal leaders openly condemned the reading of the Bible in the vernacular (the language of the common people) and even persecuted those caught with copies of the Scriptures in their possession. Because Bible Societies (beginning in the 1800's) won the war and have spread God's Word around the world, Rome has backed off of its previously public position. Yet the Vatican has not changed. Papal Rome's opposition to pure Bible truth remains to this day. Note these historical statements: At the Council of Toulouse (1229 A.D), papal church leaders ruled: "We prohibit laymen possessing copies of the Old and New Testament ... We forbid them most severely ...
