Continuing Support of Interns

PSDS is delighted to be able to continue providing grants to churches willing to host interns from the Knox Centre for Ministry and Leadership.

There are five new interns for the  2009 year joining the three that commenced studies and practical work in 2008.  Six of the eight interns are hosted by South Island parishes.

The Right Rev Dr Graham Redding, Moderator of the General Assembly and Principal of the Knox Centre for Ministry and Leadership says

 "One of the biggest challenges facing the new internship model of ministry formation is how parishes will afford their share of the Bursary cost. The grants offered by PSDS make all the difference in this regard. Already they have proved crucial to the success of the internships"
