At coffee today, Peter Head jokingly suggested that I may be something of a jinx for theological institutions. He didn’t look too nervous about it but it’s true that in the last year, there have been a significant number of staff changes at places with which I have strong links. The most recent to be announced include:
The appointment of Garry Williams as Director of the John Owen Centre at the London Theological Seminary. This means, of course, that Garry will be leaving Oak Hill at the beginning of July.
In the same story, new visiting lecturers at Oak Hill for the academic year 2009-2010 were announced: Carl Trueman and Peter O’Brien.
The appointment of Greg Beale as Visiting Professor of NT at WTS for 2009-2012. I notice that the first module he is scheduled to teach is on the NT use of the OT.
I have already noted the departure of David Field from Oak Hill.
I’m not sure that I have mentioned that Andrew McGowan ended his time as Principal of HTC in late January and the process of appointing his successor is underway.
Stumble It!

Are you coming to see your Warden in action in Norwich on Saturday afternoon/evening? I will be there with one or more people from church. Many admiring comments at church on Grace’s top with her name embroidered on it! Thank you.
I wasn’t planning to be in Norwich, no. I could just ask Pete what he thinks of the OT over coffee. ;)
