YARRA THEOLOGICAL UNION

Yarra Theological Union (YTU) was originally founded in 1971 by the Carmelites, theFranciscans, the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart and the Passionists. Over the years otherorders joined: the Redemptorists (Australian and New Zealand Provinces), Pallottines,Dominicans, Divine Word Missionaries, the Discalced Carmelites and the Blessed SacramentCongregation.

On 18th January 1973, YTU was granted formal recognition as an institute of priestlyformation by the then Archbishop of Melbourne, James Cardinal Knox. In September 1973,YTU, together with the Catholic Theological College in Clayton and the United Faculty ofTheology in Parkville, was approved by the Melbourne College of Divinity (MCD) as anAssociated Teaching Institution (ATI) with the right to teach for the degree of Bachelor ofTheology. This was extended to approving the right to teach towards the post-graduatedegrees of Master of Theology and Doctor of Theology in 1975. In that same year, theEvangelical Theological Association became the fourth associated teaching institution of theMCD.

Over recent years YTU (together with the other ATI members of MCD) has extendedits teaching programme to provide post-graduate units for candidates for the degrees ofMaster of Ministry, Doctor of Ministry Studies, Master of Theological Studies, and, from 2000,Graduate Diploma in Theology, Master of Arts and Ph.D. In 1991, YTU and the other ATImembers were approved by MCD for teaching towards a double degree of Bachelor of Arts-Bachelor of Theology with the University of Melbourne and with Monash University. YTUoffers also a number of YTU Diploma courses.

FEE - HELP

Students in any MCD course who are Australian citizens, or hold a permanent humanitarianvisa, can now have their tuition fees met by a loan from the Commonwealth Government. Thescheme – brought in under the Higher Education Support Act (HESA, 2003) – is called theHigher Education Loan Program: FEE-HELP for short.

NB: All students who accessed PELS (Postgraduate Education LoansScheme) in 2004 are also eligible for FEE-HELP, even if they are notAustralian citizens.

To apply for a FEE-HELP loan, you must fill in the Government form and send it to the MCDoffice by February 18th (at the latest) or July 15th (for new, second semester applications).Forms and FEE-HELP information 2005 are available from ATI and MCD offices. Your feeswill be paid to the MCD office by the Commonwealth, and your ATI will receive payment foryour classes and library use.

Before you apply for a loan, please note carefully, the following:

a) For undergraduate courses (BTheol, AdvDipMin, DipMin) the Government adds aone-off 20% loan fee to your tax liability (eg, a unit costing $600 will incur a tax liabilityof $720 per unit). For postgraduate courses (GradCert, GradDips, Masters,Doctorates) only the amount borrowed is subject to repayment. Only take out a loan forcomplete units for which you are enrolled (eg, request a loan for one, two or threeunits but not fractions).

b) You must have a Tax File Number to apply for a FEE-HELP loan.

c) Your loan is repaid through the tax system. When your income reaches $35,000 (the2004/5 figure) you pay a proportion back with your tax. The higher your income, thehigher the repayment proportion, starting at 4.5%. Voluntary early repayments over$500 receive a discount of 10%. Your FEE-HELP tax liability goes up by CPI on June 1st

each year. If someone with a FEE-HELP debt dies, only the repayment due in that taxyear is billed: the rest is cancelled.

d) The Government requires that, before you sign the FEE-HELP form, you must read theFEE–HELP Information 2005 booklet so that you are aware of your obligationsunder the scheme. If you participate in FEE-HELP, your details will be listed in DEST’sHigher Education Information Management System (HEIMS), and you willreceive a Commonwealth Higher Education Student Support Number(CHESSN), which remains unique to you for life.

14

The administration at the MCD and ATI offices take your right to privacy seriously, and onlyuse information you provide for the purpose for which you give it to us. The top page of theFEE-HELP form includes your Tax File Number, which will be seen by only two people in theMCD office: your ATI office will keep a copy of the second page, which does not include yourTFN.

For further information:Read the FEE–HELP information 2005 bookletVisit the Going to Uni website at: www.goingtouni.gov.auCall the FEE-HELP enquiry line on 1800 020 108.

1. Supervised ministry/pastoral placement(s) (15/30)2. A theologically inter-disciplinary synthesis (15/30)3. An oral examination (15/30)

The combination chosen in each instance is to suit the academic, pastoral, ministerial andtheological needs of the individual student and, where applicable, the pastoral and ministerialorientation (or charism) of the Religious Order of the candidate. The programme will beapproved in each case by

* The YTU coordinator of postgraduate studies * The Academic Dean of YTU * The Dean of Studies and/or Advisor of the student

The following combinations are envisaged:

1. (a) Two supervised pastoral/ministry placements (30 points), plus (b) a synthesis of8,000-10,000 words (15 points) which is to be a theologically inter-disciplinaryengagement with the student’s experience of ministry placement.

31

The four possible combinations listed above, while including pastoral, ministerial, andacademic dimensions, allow for different emphases in each of these areas. The following is one possible implementation of the synthesis programme for the MTS. The Synthesis programme will be undertaken in three stages. The First Stage, which the student will complete before leaving home base, will requirewriting, under the direction of the Co-ordinator/Advisor, a paper of 2000 words setting out: * The student’s present understanding of mission, indicating briefly the scriptural and

dogmatic basis for his understanding. * The expectations that the student has for his cross-cultural experience in mission and

ministry, covering transition to the appointed place and work; the appointed task andtransition back to the seminary and/or YTU.

The Second Stage, covering one year (at least 10 months with 30 hours ministry per week)will require the student to: * Keep a journal recording important events, issues and impressions, and reflections on

culture andreligiouslife; retainnotes usedfor classesor homilies.

* Meet regularly with his supervisor and keep a written record of those meetings. * Gather relevant documentation, especially monographs on the people with whom the

BN1020 New Testament I: B indicates that the unit is in Field B.

N = New Testament. The first figure '1' indicates that it is a level one unit. The second, third and fourth figures are the proper numbers for the unit itself.

CS2580 Franciscan Spirituality

In Field C, and under the discipline of Systematic Theology, (C+S = CS) this is a leveltwo unit.

DT2341/3341 Human Sexuality and Marriage In Field D, (D+T=DT) and under the discipline of Moral Theology, this unit can be takenat level two or level three.

STYLE SHEET

Unless otherwise indicated by the lecturer, the following guidelines should be used when writing essays and assignments.

LAYOUT

1. Essays are to be typed on A4 paper, but only one side of the paper should be used; typing should be double-spaced. Forpapers to be hand-written, prior permission of the lecturer is required. A margin of three centimetres should be allowed onthe left side of the page for the comments of the marker.

2. A title sheet, available from the office, must be attached to each piece of work submitted.

3. If the essay is divided into distinct sections or chapters, there should also be a list of contents, giving page references.Pages should be numbered, top right corner. The first page is counted, but not usually numbered.

4. A synopsis of the essay on a separate page is to precede the work proper. This does not apply to short papers.

5. Quotations included in the text of the essay should be indicated by quotation marks for shorter pieces. Lengthy quotations(four lines or more) should be indented and single spaced so that they stand separate from the text. Quotation marks arethen unnecessary.

6. Scriptural references are given in brackets in the text of the essay.

7. Details of references are given either in a footnote (at the bottom of the page) or gathered together at the end of the essay asendnotes. Either form may be used. The number in the text should be placed at the end of the sentence to which it appliesand raised one space to distinguish it from the rest of the text. Footnotes and endnotes are single spaced; they should benumbered consecutively throughout the essay.

8. Where a note is exactly the same as the preceding one put ibid., e.g. ibid., 167 (Ibidem is Latin for "the same".)

9. Where a note refers to a work quoted earlier, it is sufficient to give the author's name, an abbreviated title of the work, andthe page, e.g. from the first example given below, Westermann, Genesis, 2,169-181. This usage is to be followed ratherthan op.cit. or art.cit.

138

138

10. Punctuation. As well as the normal rules of punctuation, the following should be used:

." (full stop inside quotation marks at end of quotation).," (comma always inside quotation marks)."; ": (semi-colon and colon remain outside quotation marks.?" (when the quotation itself is a question)."? (if the student is questioning the actual quoted material)...." (matter omitted from within a quotation).

11. Foreign words should be underlined/italicized, except those in their proper script such as Greek and Hebrew.

12. Appendices are added at the end of the essay, before the bibliography.

13. A bibliography, appropriately set out, completes the essay. See below.

14. Italics, used for book titles, titles of periodicals/journals, etc. are represented by underlining when italic type is not available.

SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES
