The College of the Transfiguration, a residential theological college belonging to the ACSA, is seeking to appoint a new lecturer who specialises Christian Education. The anticipated starting date is 1st January 2006, and subject to the satisfactory completion of a probationary year this appointment will lead to a tenured position on the academic staff of the college.

The College is looking for a Christian scholar with a passion for preparing men and women for Christian ministry. In addition to his/her specialisation in Christian Education it is desirable that the successful candidate will be able to provide teaching in other areas of the curriculum, particularly, though not exclusively in the areas of Leadership and Old Testament Studies. He or she must be in possession of at least a Masters degree.

The appointee will be expected to participate in the daily life of the College, which involves partaking in the Anglican ethos of the College and in offering pastoral care and oversight to its students and their families. In this regard ministerial experience will be an advantage. The person selected will also be required to fulfil administrative duties together with the rest of the academic staff.

Preference will be given to persons who are South African citizens and who are ordained in one of the CUC churches. Women and previously disadvantaged persons are encouraged to apply.

Applicants should submit a letter of interest, together with a current curriculum vitae and the names of two referees to the Revd Canon Livingstone Ngewu, the College of the Transfiguration, PO Box 77, Grahamstown, 6140, Republic of South Africa. Materials may also be sent to cotoffice@intekom.co.za The closing deadline for all applications is 4th November 2005.
