If you have ever ordered a “combo” at your favourite fast food restaurant, then you know the advantage of combin-ing. This issue of the Growing Edge is a “combo.”

The fall release of the Growing Edge has now become the annual report edition for the year, combining two docu-ments into one. Why the change? Besides being more stra-tegic with resources, we believe it is important to connect facts and figures to real life stories of how ABU is touching lives. Sharing facts and figures is good accountability, but sharing the impact the University is having evidences suc-cess in our mission of transforming lives through “qual-ity university education firmly rooted in the Christian faith.”

ABU reached a new enrolment peak in 2005-2006 with an FTE of 723 students. The 2006-2007 year has started with a slight dip in enrolment; however, new education courses are being introduced that are designed for teachers want-ing to upgrade their certification (the courses are held on Saturdays). Because the demand is so strong for these Mas-ter level courses, we project that overall enrolment by the spring of 2007 will be close to last year’s record number.

Some time ago, I noted three interim goals that I consid-ered important to achieve as ABU looks to its next chapter of growth. The first is to strengthen our financial standing. With the elimination of an accumulated operating deficit a year ago, plus five consecutive years concluding in the black, we feel that ABU is in a position to push ahead with-out undue risk. We are grateful for the response and aid of many supporters and churches who have helped to sustain and build the University over many years.

The second goal is to attract as many students as possible. This goal has been achieved in that we are close to maximum capacity. Adding more students will require creative planning in the short term. The third goal is that of achieving membership in the Association of Universities and Colleges of Cana-da. Our application was submitted in May 2006, and we anticipate the process will take up to a year to complete. Membership in the AUCC will affirm the academic strength of our degree programs.

The Board of Governors is weighing options for the future. The Board recognizes how God has blessed the University with exceptional growth in the past decade since moving to our current campus. In moving forward, we need to proceed with vision, faith, caution, and due diligence as a new capital campaign is studied.

I am very optimistic about the future of ABU, as there is clear need in our region for universities that integrate faith and learning. Every student is an in-tellectual, spiritual, emotional, and physical “com-bo.” ABU strives to be holistic in its approach to education, so that we produce graduates equipped to be strong leaders in society as they seek to build the Kingdom of God.

Please read this “combo” issue in full so that you can feel the pulse of what is happening at ABU. We are working to shape lives and the future.

Atlantic Baptist University Athletics has recently received the largest single contribution to athletic scholarships, thanks to a generous gift of $100,000 from Dr. E.C. Eaton. Dr. Eaton has named this scholar-ship in the memory of her father Idris James Morris, who was a career civil servant with the British Government. During World War II, he worked with the War Ministry at White-hall in a responsible position accountable for the production of ar-maments throughout Britain. In recognition of gallant service to his country, he was awarded the George Medal by King George VI. Idris loved Canada and during the last 20 years of his life made an annual crossing of the Atlantic to visit with the eldest of his three children, Elizabeth Cordelia, otherwise Dr. E.C. Eaton.

Elizabeth Cordelia Morris, more affectionately known as Corrie, was born May 29, 1910, in Nantymoel, a small coal-mining village in South Wales. While she was a young girl, the family lived near London in the village of Waltham Abbey in the county of Essex. The family later moved nearby to Chingford, where she began her studies in the kindergarten of the local Baptist church and later in the elementary school at Buckhurst Hill. When she was a teenager, the family again moved a few miles away to Wanstead Park and she started her high school studies nearby at St. Angela’s Ursuline Convent School in For-est Gate. This was a Catholic school operated by the Ursuline Sisters and they fostered a thirst for knowledge in their young student. Cor-rie says it was curiosity that led her to undertake studies in medicine at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine for Women at London University at the age of nineteen. At that time most medical schools would not admit women students. She graduated from the University of London with a Bachelor of Medicine and a Bachelor of Surgery on June 8, 1935.

The $100,000 Idris James Morris Athletic Scholarship

Following her graduation Corrie was posted to the anesthesiology department of the Royal Free Hospital where she had completed her training, thus begin-ning her lifelong interest in that area of medicine. She was then appointed as the anesthetist registrar at the Hospital for Sick Children on Great Ormond Street, considered a very prestigious position at that time. It was during her next posi-tion as anesthetist at the Hammersmith Hospital that she met a young Canadian doctor, Robert Burnell Eaton, who was doing post-graduate studies in surgery. The couple married in 1938 and she im-migrated to Canada with her husband

to set up practice together in Amherst, Nova Scotia. With the outbreak of the Second World War her husband enlisted with the 14th Field Ambulance brigade of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps and went overseas in 1941, not returning until the end of the war in 1945. During his absence, Corrie carried on a general practice in medicine in Amherst with two small children at home.

Following the war the family decided to move to Sackville, New Bruns-wick, and Corrie discontinued practice. They later moved to Moncton and after raising her six children, she decided that she would like to become active again in medicine. As her medical training had never been accepted in New Brunswick she was required to write the LMCC exams, the licensing examinations of the Medical Council of Canada. She wrote and passed the exams in 1970 at the age of 60 and proceed-ed to set up active practice again, sharing office facilities with her hus-band. During the following years Corrie was responsible for operating a Well Woman Clinic at the Moncton Hospital and often assisted her husband with surgical procedures in the operating room. They retired together from medical practice in 1978, and, in 1982, she was elected a Life Member of the New Brunswick Medical Society.

For many years Corrie was an examiner in First Aid for the St. John Ambulance and for over 20 years was Cadet Surgeon to the No 308 St. John Ambulance Cadets. She became a Serving Sister in the Order of St. John in 1963, and an Officer of the Order, receiving the Victoria Medal and Bar in recognition of her long service to the Order, in 1974. She also served on the board of the VON Moncton Branch. She was a founding member of the University Women’s Club of Sackville and continues to be a member of the University Women’s Club of Monc-ton. Corrie has always been interested in athletics. As an undergradu-ate student in London she rowed competitively for her school team in women’s eights on the Thames River. She remains an avid baseball fan. Corrie started to learn to play golf at about the age of 60 and at age 96 is still an active member of the Lakeside Golf Club.

Atlantic Baptist University is grateful to Dr. Eaton for encouraging healthy lifestyles through athletic programs.

Town of Riverview Scholarship AwardedThe Town of Riverview Schol-arship for the 2006-2007 aca-demic year was conferred to Amy Stephens. Amy is in her first year of study at ABU and is enroled in the Biopsychology program. As a 2006 graduate of Riverview High School, she was the ideal candidate for this award. The Town of Riverview Scholarship of $3,000 was es-tablished in order that a wor-thy student, being a resident of Riverview or a graduate of Riverview High School, might benefit from and recieve a posi-tive influence toward the pur-suit of higher education.

The Harrison McCain Scholarship of $16,000 for four years of study is award-ed annually to a high school student entering Atlantic Baptist University. It is directed specifically to those students who demonstrate a financial need and initiative to fund their own education, as well as strong academic achievement and leadership qualities.

Cody Bolton of Dow Settlement, New Brunswick, the recipient of this year’s award, is already taking advantage of the opportunity given to him through the McCain Scholarship. He is proving his leadership abilities even within his first few months at Atlantic Baptist University. He was recently elected the First-Year Christian Life Representative and is developing a strong interest in the activities of Student Council, as well as helping to promote the Christian com-munity at ABU. He became interested in this position since it would allow him to grow his relationship both with the students and God. Cody’s involvement and contributions to the ABU community don’t stop there; he has also joined the ABU Running Club and the Drama Society.

In addition, he is also in process of becoming a youth leader at the Wesleyan Church, where he hopes to grow his skills in youth ministry in preparation for the Youth Leadership Certificate Program – the primary reason he chose to study at ABU.

Cody is currently studying toward his Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a focus on Media Studies in the hopes of later pursuing his interests in journalism. Cody’s choice to study at ABU was greatly influenced by the small-er university community and class size, as well as the Christian belief system upon which the university is founded. He has felt welcomed both by his fellow students and professors and says of his ABU experience so far, “I would encour-age everyone to come here. ABU has everything! It’s spiritually fulfilling, but academically rewarding as well.”

This year’s recipient of the Lee Scholarship in Education is Julie Somers, a Moncton resident with two children, who is finishing up her final

year. The scholarship of $2,000 is awarded annually to one deserving student.

Mrs. Verna Lee was born in Doaktown, New Brunswick, in October of 1912. After receiving her education, Mrs. Lee spent a number of years teaching in the rural schools of Queens County before marrying Victor Lee and settling in Moncton. Mrs. Lee continued to teach in Moncton and Riverview schools for many years, eventually taking on responsibilities in public school administra-tion.

In establishing the Lee Scholarship in Education, Mrs. Lee desired to do some-thing for students who yearned to teach, but might otherwise never attain their goals because of the financial costs associated with higher education. Par-ticularly, the scholarship was designed for those students who are either single parents or mature students with dependants, and who have resigned full time employment to pursue studies in the field of Education.

Regarding the current state of public education, Mrs. Lee has a strong belief that what is needed most in our schools are teachers who will uphold strong Christian principles in their influence over their students.

In addition to her great interest in education, Mrs. Lee continues her long time membership in Moncton’s First Baptist Church and has had a life long interest in the works undertaken by the Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches.

Talk about a major turn-around!

Only a year ago, the ABU Mets finished their first season in the Canadian In-tercollegiate Baseball Association with a record of 2-14. Now, a year later, the Mets finished with a record of 12-4, putting them second in the Atlantic Con-ference and third in the country. The Dalhousie Tigers, who were tied during the season with ABU, were awarded with the first ranking in the Atlantic Con-ference only because they were able to win the season series against ABU.

“It’s been quite a ride, compared to last year,” ABU assistant coach Stephen Dempster (ABU’s Stuart E. Murray Professor of Religious Studies) said. “There are three huge reasons why we really improved. The first one is we got an extra pitcher or two and that’s huge. The second one is we got extra bats; we have five batters hitting over 300. And the third thing is getting Dale Somers (ABU’s Senior Director of Finance and Administration) as our head coach. He’s been a huge addition; he’s a great motivator, and he’s a great technician as far as batting goes.”

The results of these improvements are clearly evident in their final standings and the wildcard position given to them for the National Baseball Champi-onship in Ottawa, Ontario. While they didn’t win in the nationals, the ABU Mets definitely have claimed their place as real contenders to be taken seriously across the country.

The academic year was 1981-82 and the administration of Atlantic Baptist College (ABC) had dared to dream bigger than even the founders and visionaries of United Baptist Bible Training School imagined. Dr. Samuel Mikolaski, ABC President, and Dr. Robert Wilson, Academic Dean, announced that Atlantic Baptist College would seek a charter from the New Brunswick provincial govern-ment as a degree-granting institution. This was 25 years ago; at mile-stones like these, it is good to focus what key decisions were made and who was central in carrying these decisions out.

Offering a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies appeared an obvious choice on the one hand, because Atlantic Baptist College had been offering both two-year Arts program and three-year Bible program for over a decade. Combining the courses associated with each of these programs paved a reasonable path to initiate a Bachelor of Arts degree. On the other hand, this path contained some real risk because no such program currently existed in Canada. There was no solid evidence that students would understand what it was, let alone sign up. The decision to move in this direction was rooted in a belief that the four-year BA degree better prepared a student look-ing to be a contributor in a society where more, not less, education will be seen as most important. It was seen also as a ‘door opener’ to far more options for students. Time has proven this decision to be correct.

Two key individuals have been central to the delivering and the on-going success of the BA in Biblical Studies degree program. First to arrive in 1984 was Old Testament professor, Dr. Stephen Demp-ster, followed four years later by New Testament professor, Dr. Barry Smith. For the better part of a decade and a half, they committed to heavy teaching loads and taught the vast majority of Biblical Studies courses offered by the College. Thankfully, they were supported by a small contingent of committed part-time instructors who helped by teaching either core or elective Biblical Studies courses; however, without Drs. Smith’s and Dempster’s willingness to stretch them-selves and teach as wide a range of courses as their academic back-grounds would allow, ABC would have been hard pressed to meet its obligation to its aspiring graduates.

In the late 1990s, as ABC became ABU, even greater demands and expectations were placed on the two cornerstone professors within the Biblical Studies program. These demands came in two forms: larger classes and increased academic expectations. Once ABC be-

Celebrating Good Decisions: 25 Years of Evidence

came a university, the faculty was expected to be more actively involved in presenting papers at conferences and publishing scholarly articles in academic journals or even writing books. This expectation was crucial to ABU if it hoped to establish itself as a credible postsecondary institution. Despite the higher than normal teaching load for university professors, Drs. Dempster and Smith both proved their metal as ABU entered this new era.

Since the beginning of this new era at ABU, Dr. Smith has published his second and third books with a fourth manuscript in progress. These last two were entitled Paul’s Seven Expla-nations of the Suffering of the Righteous (2002) and The Tension between God as Righteous Judge and as Merciful in Judaism (2005). In addition to these huge projects, he has a recent article publication on Second-Temple Judaism in a Baker Book series and prior to this he present-ed a related paper on this topic at Acadia Uni-versity’s 2004 “Dead Sea Scrolls and Christian Origins Conference”. Dr. Dempster had his first book released in 2005 entitled Dominion and Dynasty: A Theology of the Hebrew Bible. He has also published six different articles and presented several scholarly papers since the year 2000. One of these papers was presented in 2005 at the National Association of Profes-sors of Hebrew held at the prestigious Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.


These two men have been the ‘heart and soul’ of the BA in Biblical Stud-ies program over the years. In order not to literally wear these committed men out, another significant decision was made two years ago to go look-ing for extra support. The University found this support in the person of Dr. Keith Bodner, a tenured faculty member at Tyndale University College in Toronto. Dr. Bodner brought to ABU the perfect combination of skills that were needed to meet our need for another capable teacher-scholar. He came with a proven track record, both as an accomplished writer as well as an inspiring and exhilarating lecturer. This proven track record included two completed books, a third that came out just after his arrival at ABU, and a fourth in press. He was also the author of at least nine published articles, multiple book reviews, and at least 18 papers presented at scholarly conferences. Since agreeing to join us at ABU, Dr. Bodner has also contracted with Eerdman Press to do a commentary on The Books of First and Second Chronicles. This is in addition to manuscripts already in progress for Sheffield Phoenix Press on the books of I Samuel and II Samuel. Now the ‘dynamic duo’ has become a ‘terrific trio.’ The BA in Biblical Studies degree program shows promise to not only remain sustainable, but to grow.

On any given day we all make thousands of decisions (most of which are quite inconsequential), but 25 years ago, a few individuals made a key decision to offer a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biblical Studies at Atlantic Baptist College. It was a bold decision. Then over the years, other key people made important decisions to come and join ABC/ABU with the intent to help meet this on-going challenge. This article celebrates the results and benefits of these past decisions. Happy ‘25th’ ABU!

Twenty-five years changes a lot. Since 1981-82, ABC has grown from a little less than 130 students to approximately 700. After daring to think ABC could offer one de-gree, with one major, and with the involvement of seven full-time facul-ty, six part-time instructors, and five full-time staff, ABU now offers four different degrees (BA, B.Sc., BBA, & B.Ed.) with a total of 11 majors and ten honours options. This is only possible because of the faithful com-mitment of the 29 full-time faculty, 35 part-time lecturers, and 35 staff (including six administrators).

ABU’s Biblical Studies Department:Dr. Stephen Dempster, Dr. Barry Smith, and Dr. Keith Bodner


Two students of Atlantic Baptist University, Heather MacLeod and Adam Hayward, revived a connection in Ke-nya, and shared the experience of a lifetime this summer. This door was originally opened in 2004, when ABU was asked to form a partnership with the African Brotherhood Church and Canadian Baptist Ministries (CBM) to aid in the further development of intensive education classes for teachers across the nation of Kenya. ABU’s Bryan Taylor, Associate Professor of Education, traveled to Kenya to explore the possibility further and a positive connection was established.

This connection lay rather dormant until Heather and Adam approached their professor looking to travel to Ke-nya. With Professor Taylor’s help, these two students were able to take courses in the program (which would count as electives toward their own degrees) alongside the Kenyan teachers. This past August, Heather and Adam spent three weeks in Machakos Settlement, Kenya, where they lived, worked, and studied with Kenyan teachers. It was

a challenging and eye-opening experience. The students were amazed with how little the Kenyan teachers have, but how joyful they are. Upon returning home, Adam was irritated by the lack of appreciation Canadians have in comparison, when we are so richly blessed. Even so, as Adam stated, “They don’t want our sympathy; they are happy!”

The program in Kenya has a distinctly spiritual element. Before classes each day, Heather, Adam, and their class-mates spent time in devotions and worshipful song and dance before beginning schoolwork for the day. An il-lustration of how the Spirit of God powerfully impacted both Canadian students was when the husband of one of the African teachers, Beatrice, fell ill. The cost of the treatment was more than what she would make in her lifetime. Adam, Heather, and the other teachers gathered together in a classroom in prayer. Beatrice returned to joyfully share that the money had been raised. Each of the students felt that they had indeed witnessed a miracle, and any doubt to the power and existence of God that they previously had, was completely wiped away. In addi-tion to learning about a foreign culture and developing their own educational skills, they came home in a stronger spiritual place.

This trip has resulted in a renewed interest in the partnership between the African Brotherhood Church, CBM, and ABU, with the hope of beginning a dialogue regarding the possible implementation of a full Education de-

gree granting program for Kenyan pastors. If this were to come to pass, more professors from ABU would be interested in teaching courses in Kenya during the summer months. In addition, Titus Kiilu, a representative of the African Brotherhood Church, expressed a desire for more ABU students to come and share as Heather and Adam did.

Since their return to Canada, both students have been working hard on their teaching internships in New Bruns-wick schools. Adam has been working in District 16 and has already been sharing in a grade nine Social Studies class about his overseas experience. These presentations have been so successful that other teachers have used some of the information as a resource as well. In addition, there has been interest in developing a DVD based on the stu-dents’ experiences in Kenya to be used as a resource on culture in New Brunswick schools. Finally, both students may be contributing some of their journals (recorded during their trip) for publishing in Mosaic Magazine.

It is clear that both Adam and Heather believe this experience impacted them in an amazing way and will contin-ue to impact their lives here in Canada. In terms of the impact this experience has had on ABU, time will tell; but the doors are open for more to follow in the same footsteps. Will Heather and Adam be among those returning to Africa? Adam himself has perhaps said it best, when asked if he would go back to Kenya, he replied, “I have to.”

The final boarding call had been made, and we were the last two to board. As the aircraft prepared for departure, we quickly stored our overhead luggage and slipped into the last unoccupied seats.

As our conversation began, I was immediately intrigued and had many questions for the young recent student graduate who introduced himself to me. Where and when had he graduated? In which program had he been enroled? Why had he decided to further his studies in that particular field? What were his future goals and aspirations? Thinking back, my interrogation was probably quite overwhelming! He seemed to relax a bit when I explained my role at ABU and, in particular, with ABU’s alumni relations.

I was pleased for the young man as he confidently and proudly shared his story. He had graduated top in his class at a local university and was now on his way to Washington to work with NASA. The opportunities that were before him seemed endless as he commented on the expectations being placed on him.

One last question needed to be asked. Who had been in-strumental in helping him get to this place in his life? His answer was immediate. He gave credit to teachers. As I

From theAlumni Office

recall, a grade school teacher was a huge mentor for him, but so were his university professors. His gratitude was very evident.

As I interact with ABU’s alumni, I have proudly heard alumni repeatedly speak highly of the pro-fessors and teachers that listened, encouraged, ad-vised, and made time for them while they were students at this institution. Perhaps there is a pro-fessor’s name that comes to your mind who was in-strumental in positively influencing you while you were a student.

This community has been blessed with men and women who are not only instructors, but mentors and friends, to students here this academic year. As an alumnus, keep your alma mater in your thoughts and prayers. Also, please continue to financially support this institution so that each student will leave this university, having gained not only a qual-ity education, but an experience that will equip them for a lifetime.

Our East Coast musical culture spans the entire world, from Ireland and Scotland to the Congo and Madagascar, France, the Caribbean, and beyond. Ed Matwawana (’86) embodies the true essence of the diverse musical styles that Canada enjoys, and we are proud that he makes his home in Atlantic Canada.

Born in the Kingdom of Kongo (now known as Northern Angola), Ed began his musical career at the age of 14. After moving to Canada in 1983, Ed continued to grow musically and felt a strong need to showcase his culture to his new home, Canada. He says, “After only a couple of years in Canada, I realized that the continent of Africa was misunderstood and misinterpreted in North America. There was certainly a need to show the positive and cultural beauty that is really Africa. What better way than educating the masses through music and dance?” His decision to do that was our joy!

In 1992, he founded the group Afro-Musica, a Halifax-based African world beat band. He has presented the band to diverse audiences across Canada, and through his own company, Matwaking Beat Production, he has produced shows such as the African Nova Scotian Music Awards and the African Connexion Shows at the Atlantic TD Trust Jazz Festival.

Ed’s talents as an artist are undeniable: to the six-time African Nova Scotian Music Award winner, “Music is like food.” Ed also believes in giving back to the community through people development and advocacy. Ed regularly sings solo and with the choir at the Dartmouth First Baptist Church. Today, Ed serves as Program Manager with the Centre for Entrepreneurship Education and Development Incorporated (CEED). He also works as a Youth Consultant focusing on youth in conflict with the law and those at risk through his own company, Pyramid Youth Development Services. Through Brothers Reaching Out Society (BROS) and the African Heritage Foundation, a philanthropic organization that raises funds to assist schools and hospitals in African countries, he helps young people develop leadership skills.

In 2002, the Urban Music Association of Canada (UMAC) honored him with a Special Achievement Award for his work in promoting urban music in Eastern Canada. In 2003, he received the National Humanitarian Griot Award for his work with youth, community, and African countries. He has recently been elected to the Board of Directors of the Nova Scotia Talent Trust.

Ed’s life can be summarized in these words: True leaders spend their energies nurturing other leaders.

The annual reunion of the 1960-64 Alumni was held at the Tryon Baptist Church on Prince Edward Island this year during the weekend of September 16-17. The reunion was hosted by Dale and Marjorie (Gordon) Hicks, and to say that “a good time was had by all” is undoubtedly an understatement. The alumni described the weekend as “wonderful,” “fantastic,” and “one of the best ones we’ve ever had.” One person who came this year for the first time made the comment, “If I had known how much fun these reunions were, I would have started coming a long time ago.” There never seems to be a lull in conversation as people catch up on one another’s news, in some cases after 40 years of not having seen one another! Many have already noted the weekend of Sept. 22-23, 2007 on their calendars and are counting on being at the next reunion, which is going to be held in St. Stephen, NB, and hosted by Wayne and Vivian (Martin) Mellish.

Over the years, I experienced a deep yearning to get back to university. Although I took courses here and there, circumstances (such as marriage, children, and moving) did not per-mit me to make substantial progress toward completing my degree. The ALPS program at ABU was tailor-made for me to finish my BA. Abbreviated classes, challenging assignments, relevant material, learning with a small cohort of students in similar situations with careers and families, and compassionate professors are the standard for the ALPS program. There is both an expectation for quality work and the resources and encouragement to accomplish those expectations in the midst of the stress and pressures of full-time jobs, families, and life. I know a lot of people have said, “Maybe someday.” I finally took the plunge, stepped out of my comfort zone, and now, at the end of my ALPS program, I can say - it’s been worth every minute.

How do you reconnect with friends you’ve made over a twenty year span? On July 15, Dannie (former faculty 1982 to 2003) & Judy Brown hosted an alumni BBQ at their home on Killarney Road, just outside Fredericton North. In excess of 40 friends gathered, on what proved to be one of New Brunswick’s hottest days of the summer, to reconnect with classmates and former profs. Alumni from the Fred-ericton area who attended ABC/ABU from 1983 to 2003 were invited to this event. Summer vacations being consid-ered, everyone was thrilled with the number of people who attended. It was great to reconnect with so many for whom ABC/ABU has played a significant role in their lives.

Food! Did we mention food? Besides the meat on the BBQ, there were salads and desserts a-plenty. The many children who were present had fun cooling off in the Brown’s pool, while the adults found a favorite shady spot in which to reminisce and snap the occasional photo.

Attending were Peter (’97) and Patricia (Pettipas) Moore (’96) and their five children; Jennifer (Brown) (’02) and Paul MacAloney and their two children; Judi Parker (’88); Iain Robertson (’88) and friend Michele; Mike (’97) and Stacey (Corey) Sullivan (’97) and their two children; Gilda (Bagley) (’83) and Scott Ryder and their two children; Brad (’86) and Barb Putnam; Murray (’87) and Cindy Grasse and their two children; Janet (Grasse) (’91) and Tony Parks and their two children; Linda (Hoyt) Chapman (’84) and her three children; Di-ane (Chase) (’75) and Aubrey Trail (’74); Bill and Louise Morrison and their daughter; Jim and Enid Webber; Judy, Aaron, and Dannie Brown.

Alumni events, similar to the Fred-ericton Alumni BBQ will continue to be planned. Watch for details on the University’s website at www.abu.nb.ca or phone Gilda Ryder, Alumni Relations, at 506-863-6444 (direct line) or 800-968-6228 (toll free) for inquiries or if you would like to help plan an event in your area.

Atlantic Baptist University hosted its Second Annual Golf Classic on June 22, 2006. The event, held at Pine Nee-dles River Golf Course, provided space for 19 teams and a banquet for in excess of 90 people. All proceeds from the tournament, totaling over $10,400, went to support the established Alumni and Friends Athletic Scholarship, available to qualifying athletes applying for studies at ABU. This dramatic growth from the first year, which raised $6,500, and the encouraging feedback from all who attended. provide wonderful momentum for next year’s Golf Classic. Thanks to all the golfers who came out to make the day such a success.

The 2006 1st place golf team was the SCOTIAMcLEOD INC. team:(l-r) Reg Porter, Mark Day, Paul Arsenault, Brian MacArthur who presented the trophy, and Jay Guptill.

ABU hosted the annual ABU Alumni Softball Tournament on September 22 & 23. It was an-other full weekend of softball with games begin-ning on Friday at 6 PM and ending Saturday at 7 PM with the completion of the champion-ship game. This year saw the team of Nathaniel Miller, Reg Ward, Dave Cook, John Cook, Phil Woodworth, Naaman Miller, Chris Wellwood, Ben Ricker, Tony Jones, Rob Briggs, and Jeff Somers defend their title and win back-to-back championships. This team has also won four of the last six tournaments. Will it be a three peat? Or can one of the alumni teams bring this team back to earth? Only time will tell. See you next year.

Paradox and PerseveranceHanserd Knollys, Particular Baptist Pioneer inSeventeenth-Century England

Synopsis:

Author:Dr. Dennis Bustin, Associate Professor of History

The seventeenth century was a significant period in English history during which the people of England experienced unprecedented change and tumult in all spheres of life. At the same time, the im-portance of order and the traditional institutions of society was being reinforced. Hanserd Knollys, born during this pivotal period, per-sonified in his life the ambiguity, tension, and paradox of it, openly seeking change while, at the same time, cautiously embracing order. As a founder and leader of the Particular Baptists in London, despite persecution and personal hardship, he played a pivotal role in helping shape their identity externally in society and internally as they moved toward becoming more formalized by the close of the century.

James Michael Lee brought a definite answer to these questions - an advocacy for empirical findings over and against any “specu-lative” positions. Lee claimed that his theory was universal, neu-tral, metatheory for all religious education, a theory that would apply to all religious educators in any and every religion. But in proposing his theory he overlooked the way that empirical facts express worldviews. This book is a detective story, tracing commitments that lie underneath empirical “neutrality.” In the process, the reader will see avenues that link education with the-ology. Education turns out to be a worldview process, through and through. This new work is essential reading for professors and students in both religious and general education.
