For All That Has Been-Thanks!

Résumé du livre

Guided by the maxim of Dag Hammarskjöld 'For all that has been- Thanks! To all that will be- Yes!' Ken Manley's autobiography reflects on a life of over eighty years in which he traces his life from earliest days in suburban Sydney to becoming Principal of Whitley College, the Baptist College of Victoria. Although a late developer in learning, after school teaching he became a Baptist minister in Sydney and then undertook further studies at Bristol and Oxford Universities in England. He has since lectured in three Australian Baptist Colleges in Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne as well as being pastor of churches at Narwee, Faringdon (UK), Pymble and Epping. His combination of pastor and theological educator in both his own denomination and in ecumenical situations makes for an unusual story. Ken is author of several publications in Baptist history and has served as a Vice-President of the Baptist World Alliance. His personal story is enriched by mature reflection on the changing times for people of faith in modern Australia.
