TRINITY - Key Persons
Christopher Lim wants to "encourage everyone who has the heart and desire to learn and understand more about the nature and existence of the Christian God to truly consider pursuing theological studies".
Christopher completed a Master of Theology at Trinity College Theological School at the end of 2018. He also has a Master of Arts in Philosophy and Politics and a Master of Teaching (Secondary Level) from the University of Melbourne. He said his long term goal is to teach philosophy at a tertiary level and to use his theological studies as a foundation for this future career.
Born and raised in Singapore in a middle-income Chinese-Singaporean family, Christopher first came to Melbourne in 2009 to join the Trinity College Foundation Studies program, which prepares international students for entry to the University of Melbourne. At the end of that year he went back to Singapore to undertake two years of military service, before returning to Australia in 2012 and commencing his university studies. He has lived in Melbourne ever since and taught part-time while he was studying theology.
'I decided to enrol in the Master of Theology course so I could acquire a broad, theological foundation that [would] inform my personal and professional life. After thoroughly researching all the theological training establishments in Melbourne, I chose to study at Trinity (and the University of Divinity) based upon a recognition of its ability to provide high-quality education and access to a wide range of theological ideas and concepts,' he says.
He was not disappointed. 'I truly appreciated the diversity of thought and discourse that was experienced in class and I benefited from the comparisons and contrasts that occurred between my own ideals and those of my fellow classmates.
'On a personal level, I believe that through theological studies and contemplation, we can continue to learn more and more about God. I fully recognise, too, that given the academically driven society we live in today, we as Christians need to be able, as Peter says, to give a reasonable answer for our faith, and theology gives us the means to do so.'
Chris Porter is a New Testament scholar working on the Fourth Gospel with a particular emphasis in the intersection of theology and psychology. Previously he has worked in personal and social identity and memory research, and in computational linguistics. Trained in Psychology at ANU he naturally brings a Social Identity (Tajfel & Turner, et al) framework to the consideration of the biblical text and theology. Broadly he has an interest in the science informed theology and Christian identity. Currently he is working on an introduction to Social Identity Theory; theological approaches to social identity formation in the Fourth Gospel; a reception history of the Christology of the Fourth Gospel; and narrative identity construction and Christian formation.

Elizabeth's first job in her new country provided the guidance she was looking for. ‘Working for a religious not-for-profit sorting donations for the op shops became an active meditation,' she says. 'I set up an alter with a small icon and prayed all day while I sorted through trolleys of shoes, clothes and other goods.'
Elizabeth Thompson moved to Australia from the US and found fulfilling roles working with therapy dogs and the NSW ambulance service, as well as further study.
God has always been central in Elizabeth's life. Originally from the United States, she was raised in the United Church of Christ before studying at Harvard Divinity School.
After graduating with a Master of Divinity in 2009, Elizabeth worked for Harvard University and lived within an Anglican monastic community as a laywoman.
‘While serving within the guesthouse ministry of the Society of St John the Evangelist, I realised I was called to serve and worship in an Anglican context.'
Confirmation into the Anglican communion followed in 2010, and Elizabeth decided to remain as a committed laywoman, putting aside ordination until she worked out her vocation.
Her life direction changed when she met an Australian who was studying in the United States. Long story short, Elizabeth moved to Australia in 2013, married, and settled in Sydney.

Melissa Clark graduated from the Trinity College Theological School with a Bachelor of Theology in 2015 and was ordained a priest just a few weeks later. Melissa went on to become priest-in-charge in the Anglican Parish of Woodend-Trentham (then the Anglican Parish of Mansfield) - and becoming the first woman to do so - was triumphant, as it's a role Melissa never could have predicted earlier in her life. ‘I spent a few years thinking "I couldn't do that job, I'm not worthy of that job",' she remembers. ‘Now I think, how did this great blessing happen?', adding, ‘It's actually funny to call it a job, because really it's just my life.'
Melissa had found that Trinity College offered a supportive environment, and the faculty encouraged both women and men to pursue their leadership aspirations if they felt that was their calling. ‘Dorothy Lee was the Dean [of Trinity's Theological School] during my time studying and, for me, that was a big thing in letting women know that we weren't just going to end up looking after the Sunday School if we studied theology. We knew we'd be supported to go and lead a community.'
Melissa says another Trinity alum played a part in helping her realise her calling - the Most Revd Kay Goldsworthy AO, who became the first woman to hold the title of Archbishop in the Anglican Communion when she was installed as Archbishop of Perth in 2018. ‘I always used to appreciate seeing [Kay's] portrait in Trinity's dining hall. She was an inspiration to me, knowing her story and knowing that she was amongst the first women priests, the first bishop and the first archbishop,' says Melissa.
Melissa knows that the road wasn't easy for Archbishop Kay on her rise to leadership in a male-dominated realm, and is grateful to the women who went before her and fought faithfully.
Now, having carved her own leadership path, Melissa is of the view that there needs to be ‘more chicks in collars', and encourages other women to consider ordination. ‘I'd say just keep at it and listen to your heart because your heart will tell you where you need to be.'
For Melissa, giving her service to her community gives great satisfaction and she enjoys the diversity of the role. ‘The busyness of ministry means that one day you'll be doing a funeral, and the next day you might be helping an older person fold their washing because they've broken a hip,' she says.

Marking the culmination of an extensive personal, spiritual and geographic journey, the Revd Suzannah Daniels was ordained on 11 November 2017 as one of Bendigo's newest Anglican priests. Held at St Paul's Cathedral in the Diocese of Bendigo, her ordination service was also the climax of a momentous year for this young wife and mother.
'It [was] a huge and exciting year for me,' she says. 'I gave birth to our first child, Elizabeth; I completed the last two subjects of my MA (Theology) at Trinity College Theological School; and in June, I was ordained a Deacon and appointed Assistant Curate at the parish of Bendigo North.'
Unusually for a newly ordained priest, she was effectively in charge of that parish, as the incumbent had moved to another diocese. 'Because I already knew the church community - which had been extremely supportive - the transition [was] very smooth. I also had a mentor, the priest-in-charge at Castlemaine, and we met regularly,' Suzannah says.
Fortunately, she brought youthful energy and enthusiasm to her new role. In addition to leading the congregation at St Luke's in a traditional Anglican liturgy in the mornings, she also conducted a less formal, low-church service in the afternoons for the growing congregation at Huntly, on the outskirts of Bendigo.
'The service has its grounding in the Prayer Book but I try to be more creative and explore different styles of worship for it. I treasure the joyful exuberance of contemporary worship, but I also hold sacred the ritual of traditional churches and catholic liturgy. My passion is in exploring fresh ways of making our rich Christian heritage relevant to people today,' she adds.
