On Friday evening the Governing Board approved the Principal’s nomination of Dr Veronica Hoyt to become a member of the Moore College Faculty. Veronica will take up the post of Lecturer in Ministry and Director of the Priscilla and Aquila Centre. Veronica and her husband Berwyn are members of St Thomas’ North Sydney where she has been the Women’s Minister.
Veronica has been a High School and TAFE teacher, and has served on the staff of Cornerstone Church in Christchurch New Zealand for ten years. She has a doctorate in English literature from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand and a Master of Theological Studies from Queensland Theological College. Her research for that degree was on “Complementarian Theology and Practice in Women’s Ministry across Australia and New Zealand”. She lists one of her hobbies and interests as ‘catching up with friends in quirky coffee shops’, so Newtown should be right up her alley!
The College Principal, Dr Mark Thompson welcomed Veronica’s appointment. “Veronica is just the person to build on the truly remarkable work started by Jane Tooher as the inaugural Director of the Priscilla and Aquila Centre. She has a delightfully warm Christian character, and significant experience in parish ministry both in New Zealand and Australia that, combined with her academic and teaching experience, makes her an ideal person to join the Faculty in this role.”
Veronica says, “It’s an honour to be joining the staff at Moore College. I have admired and respected Jane’s work at the College for a long time, and I am looking forward to building on the legacy that she leaves. Please pray for this season of transition, and that it would be used by God to advance his good purposes.”
Veronica will start at the College in mid-January 2025.
