The end of the term at Augustine was quite an experience; it stretched me "like gold to airy thinness beat". The last several weeks at Augustine really saw the students pull together as a community. Bonds were knotted that had, to that point, remained loosely joined, and my eyes were opened to the praise of Jesus and his plans that were at work among us all along. Academically, we finally reached the place in all of our classes that tied the threads of thought we had been following to the modern iterations amongst which we are so used to living. I believe that something happened to me at this time that has floored me in awe: the complexities of the predicament this world is in are so great that I can only wonder at the mind of God who directs it all according to his will. "For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been his counselor?" "His ways are higher than our ways and his thoughts higher than our thoughts." I have only been able to describe the internal effects of my year at Augustine as the throwing up of piles upon piles of dust into the air. The cloud of confusion is so great that I'm not sure where I will find the earth piled when it all settles down. It was the most concentrated learning environment I have ever experienced, and my time there was a great joy to me.

It was a privilege and a blessing to have been invited to study at Augustine college in the 2005-2006 academic year. The Augustine programme holds true to its promise of offering a broad glance at the Western tradition and inspires continued reading for those who embrace this area of study. An honest and challenging approach to the history of our culture is what awaits those who attend!
