Last Thursday night last week I was presented with the Kevin Moyle Award for my efforts in my 2009 unit Christian Symbols, Rituals and Sacraments.

The Kevin Moyle Award for Liturgy or Ministry Studies at the Canberra Campus (Signadou) was established by Mrs Janet Moyle Grad Dip RE (1993), MTheo (2001) in honour of her late husband who was also a graduate of the ACU.

Previous winner Katharine Parks was also a member of St Matthews Parish, Page. For many years St Matthews was my parish where I acolyted with Kevin, and where I was involved with liturgy preparation with both Janet and Kevin. The award is decided by University staff who possibly knew nothing of my involvement at St Matthews with Kevin and Janet!

It is a great honour both to be acknowledged for my theological studies and also to receive an award in memory of a friend.
