5 Introduction The Planning Guide includes information on how to plan your course and unit schedules indicating the years when the units will be offered. You will see that some units are offered every year and others in alternate years. The schedule is not a guarantee that a given unit will be available in a particular year. Changed circumstances can lead to variations. Units are grouped into nine unit fields: Languages (LA), Old Testament (OT), New Testament (NT), Theology (TH), Church History (CH), Philosophy and Ethics (PE), Evangelism and Mission (EM), Pastoral Church Focussed Ministries (PC) and Developmental Ministry (DM). Morling internal Three- and Four-Year Awards Some students will wish to complete a standard Morling three or four award in addition to the completion of a BMin, BTh, MDiv or three year combined Advanced Diplomas of Theology & Ministry. Information concerning the requirements of the two standard Morling awards is provided in this Planning Guide (see the table of contents). You are advised to make a photocopy. ACT Graduate Diploma in Ministry BTh and BMin students who wish to receive the Four-Year Morling award (which fulfils the academic requirements for Baptist Accreditation) have the opportunity to complete a Graduate Diploma in Ministry within their Fourth Year program. This constitutes a special and separate strand for fourth year students. Some students, however may be unable to take advantage of the Graduate Diploma in Ministry. In this case, you are able to complete an Advanced Diploma together with your degree, or use internal units in your fourth year. Consult with Keith Mitchell. Graduate Certificate/Diploma in Counselling No information (other than the unit schedule) is provided here about these awards. See your Course Advisor if you are interested in these awards now or in the future. This could affect your choice of units. A booklet giving full details is available from the office. Master of Arts (Christian Studies) and Master of Arts (Theology/Ministry) See the Postgraduate Co-ordinator, Dr. Graham Hill Enrolment with the ACT In addition to enrolling for each unit at Morling College, it is also necessary to enrol with the ACT. This is done by enrolling on both Morling and ACT enrolment forms, which are usually supplied together. There is a small ACT Administration fee per unit which Morling pays to the ACT. It is your responsibility to indicate whether your units are to be enrolled with the ACT. See the Academic Registrar for further details. Introduction 5

6 A Note About GUIDED SPIRITUAL FORMATION (formerly SEBL ) (2008 and subsequent years) Morling College requires that all full-time students must enrol in Guided Spiritual Formation. From Semester a new procedure for Guided Spiritual Formation will operate. Until 2007, Morling College required students to do Guided Spiritual Formation over six semesters, and required them to pay only the ACT Registration fee for Guided Spiritual Formation, and only in the last of those six semesters. Additionally, where they attended a day-workshop as part of Guided Spiritual Formation, students were charged $50 to cover costs for that workshop. Students completing Guided Spiritual Formation who began it before 2008 will continue to pay only the ACT registration fee for the unit, and the ACT will accept four semesters of Guided Spiritual Formation for full credit for the unit towards an Award. Any pre-2008 Guided Spiritual Formation student now need only complete four semesters of Guided Spiritual Formation in order for it to be credited to an Award; it is possible to enrol retrospectively in any discrete quarters of Guided Spiritual Formation already completed, plus the quarter to be completed in Semester , and pay the respective quarters of the ACT Registration fee. This will be made clear on the enrolment forms. Gradually the need for this will fade away as earlier students complete Guided Spiritual Formation. Students who began Guided Spiritual Formation ( SEBL ) in 2008 or later will pay the usual Morling unit fee for Guided Spiritual Formation (as well as the ACT Registration fee) divided into quarters, and will enrol in each semester-length quarter of SEBL as a discrete unit. This will be made clear on the enrolment forms. After all four quarters have been completed the unit will be credited to the student s Award. Guided Spiritual Formation is compulsory for two Awards (the Bachelor of Ministry and the Advanced Diploma of Ministry). Where Guided Spiritual Formation is not required for the student s Award, Morling requires that a full-time student do Guided Spiritual Formation anyway, and if the student does not wish Guided Spiritual Formation to count towards the Award, the student may choose an additional unit for which Morling will waive 100% of the Morling tuition fee (only the ACT Registration fee need be paid for this unit.) Guided Spiritual Formation after four semesters Because Morling College requires all full-time students to be involved in Guided Spiritual Formation -type activities, after the fourth semester of Guided Spiritual Formation, when ACT requirements for the unit have been met, 3rd & 4th year: full-time students will continue Guided Spiritual Formation, but not as an ACT enrolment. They will register for Guided Spiritual Formation with the Dean of Students (Guided Spiritual Formation Coordinator) and it will appear on their enrolment forms as an Internal unit with the codes MC149E, F, G and H. It is especially important for Accreditation students that they continue in Guided Spiritual Formation through a total of eight semesters. These additional semesters will cost nothing to students, unless a student chooses to attend a group led by a visiting facilitator.

8 Diploma of Ministry (ACT) Course requirements The Diploma of Ministry requires the completion of 12 units (48 credit points). The core units must be completed by all students: TWO Old Testament introduction units (eight credit points): OT201 Old Testament Foundations OT202 Old Testament Prophets & Writings TWO New Testament introduction units (eight credit points): NT201 Content and Setting of the Gospel Tradition NT202 Early New Testament Church ONE church history unit (four credit points): CH201 The Church to 1550 or EM202 History of Missions (CH202 The Church from 1550 may be possible by Distance Education) ONE theology unit (four credit points): TH210 Doctrine of God and Work of Christ or TH211 The Holy Spirit, Grace and Hope In addition to these core units, Morling students will complete SIX other units: TWO exegesis units: one from Old Testament and one from New Testament TWO units in the fields of EM (Evangelism and Mission), PC (Pastoral and Church Focussed Ministry) and DM (Developmental Ministry). At least two fields should be represented. TWO elective units Planning your course The sequence below should not be varied without consultation with the Diploma Course Adviser. Please note: unit availability is indicated in the Unit Schedules included in this Planning Guide (see the table of contents) Year 1 Semester 1 OT201 Old Testament Foundations NT201 Content and Setting of the Gospel Tradition CH201 The Church to 1550 PC201 Ministry Formation MC149a Guided Spiritual Formation (internal) Year 2 Semester 1 TH210 Doctrine of God and Work of Christ New Testament exegesis Old Testament exegesis one at Degree level, if required Elective MC149c Guided Spiritual Formation (internal) Semester 2 OT202 Old Testament Prophets & Writings NT202 Early New Testament Church Elective (e.g. EM202 History of Missions) EM223 Foundations of Evangelism MC149b Guided Spiritual Formation (internal) From 2012 this Award is 48 cps (3 semesters) long; this is not long enough to complete all four quarters of Guided Spiritual Formation. Full-time students are required to do GSF, so they would probably do it internally. Part-time students would probably omit it from the Award. It is possible (from 2012) to complete the Diploma of Ministry in one year of full-time study by completing 8 units (32 cps) at Bachelor-Degree level. See the page early graduation from Degree to Diploma in this Guide. 8 Degree studies

Please note: Year 1 unit availability is indicated in the Unit Schedules included in this Planning Guide (see the table of contents) Semester 1 Semester 2 OT201 Old Testament Foundations OT202 Old Testament Prophets & Writings NT201 Content and Setting of the Gospel Tradition NT202 Early New Testament Church CH201 The Church to 1550 EM202 History of Missions Elective PC201 Ministry Formation Elective EM223 Foundations for Evangelism MC149a Guided Spiritual Formation (internal) MC149b Guided Spiritual Formation (internal) Year 2 Because this Award requires two TH units, which are not both offered in a single semester, it may not be possible to sustain a full-time enrolment after first year. Sometimes an Exegesis unit may have to be taken at Degree level. From 2012 this Award is 48 cps (3 semesters) long; this is not long enough to complete all four quarters of Guided Spiritual Formation. Full-time students are required to do GSF, so they would probably do it internally in the first year as shown above. Part-time students would probably omit GSF from the Award. It is possible (from 2012) to complete the Diploma of Theology in one year of full-time study by completing 8 units (32 cps) at Bachelor-Degree level.

The remaining eight credit points will be chosen from: Evangelism: Church Dynamics and Growth, Foundations of Evangelism/Evangelism Principles, Applied Evangelism, Christian Apologetics, Church Planting, Church in Australian Society Mission: Theology of Mission, Cultural Anthropology, Study of Religion, The Local Church & Global Mission (PC762), Multicultural Ministry, Aid & Development, Alternative Religious Movements iv. Field Education (including Field Education Theory) v. Introductory Preaching and Advanced Preaching Skills vi. Guided Spiritual Formation (formerly called SEBL ) vii. New Testament Greek or Introduction to New Testament Greek or Biblical Hebrew viii Denominational (Baptist) Distinctives ix. Pastoral Leadership for 2 semesters (Morling) x. Four credit points of Ethics Morling requirements 45

46 xi. At least 16 credit points (four units) of Biblical exegesis, two units in each of Old Testament and New Testament. In addition, a Bible or Theology unit will be completed in the final year. 3. All students are required to complete at least two years of full-time study. Full-time study requires a high level of involvement in College life. Students will normally complete at least one unit from each of Old Testament, New Testament, Theology/Ethics/Apologetics and Pastoral Studies over the final two years of study. 4. Full time students are required to attend regularly the weekly College Chapel services (at least 80%), Guided Spiritual Formation groups, all College retreats, two College partnership missions and one missions ReachOut conference. They are to be actively involved in the life and ministry of a local congregation, under supervision, for the duration of their College course. At the conclusion of each year students will acknowledge in writing that they have fulfilled these requirements. Parttime students will need to complete these requirements also, on a pro-rata basis. 5. The final year of the Graduate in Christian Ministries (Advanced) will normally be completed as a full time student, with a load of no less than seven units across the year, unless a student is granted special dispensation by the faculty. While students are strongly encouraged to study fulltime, ministry responsibilities will be considered when granting a Fourth Year Award &/or accreditation student permission to study part-time 6. All students are required to complete at least 32 units. For the purpose of this regulation, 700 level units will not be given additional weight. The MDiv research project will be counted as two units, and the BMin or BTh honours thesis will be counted as three. 7. Students (who do a full four year course with Morling), will be expected to complete all in the 10 units of the Safe Church Training. They should be able to do this within their unit s requirements. They would need to make sure that they did the necessary quarters of Guided Spiritual Formation attached to this training sometime in their study. 8. Students are required to complete 8 semesters of Guided Spiritual Formation in total. This equates to 4 years of Guided Spiritual Formation at a full-time rate. 9. Some students may be granted dispensation by the faculty to complete their fourth year by distance, on the basis of the recommendations outlined in Distance Recommendations below 10. The 32 units can be spread over a student s four year program, provided they complete a minimum of 6 units in their fourth year (and, in the case a student is completing 6 units in their fourth year, none of these units can be done as critical reflection units ) 11. It may be the case, occasionally, that a student may have to do more than 32 units in total, when they have not completed all the units on the list for the Morling Four-Year Award within the initial 32 units completed 12. If students undertake a fourth unit in any given semester, and they are also doing two MA units in that semester, they will be permitted to do that fourth unit as a critical reflection unit of 1,000 words (no critical reflection units will be offered to those doing less than four units in any given semester) 13. It is recommended that students undertake the Graduate Diploma in Ministry in their final year, which includes 4 units which can be turned into the Master of Arts (in Theology or Ministry) 46 Morling requirements

47 APPLICANTS WITH THE MASTER OF DIVINITY, BACHELOR OF MINISTRY, OR BACHELOR OF THEOLOGY (OR EQUIVALENT) FROM A NON-BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE OR SEMINARY 1. Such students are required to complete 12 units at Morling, and no differentiation is made between the weighting of postgraduate and undergraduate/internal units in this regard 2. If students undertake a fourth unit in any given semester, and they are also doing two MA units in that semester, they will be permitted to do that fourth unit as a critical reflection unit of 1,000 words (no critical reflection units will be offered to those doing less than four units in any given semester) 3. If students choose to do Baptist Distinctives as their fourth unit in any given semester, the writing requirements for that unit will be discounted to 4,000 words (we believe this unit is too important to be reduced to 1,000 words) 4. Those who study for accreditation after having completed a non-baptist theological award, should complete at least 4 semesters of SEBL (whether or not SEBL was done for ACT credit) 5. The total theological studies should at least cover the study requirements for the Morling Four- Year Award in Christian Ministry 6. It is recommended that students undertake the Graduate Diploma in Ministry in their final year, which includes 4 units which can be turned into the Master of Arts (in Theology or Ministry) DISTANCE EDUCATION DURING STUDIES FOR ACCREDITATION A.
