Provisioning the Voyage

Hobart, Tasmania – September 9-13

The Tasmanian Association for Supervised Pastoral Education hosted the 2018 ANZACPE Conference ‘Provisioning the Voyage’ in Hobart, Tasmania.

‘Provisioning the Voyage’ was designed as an interactive and engaging opportunity to encourage and explore pastoral supervision.

Our guest speaker, The Rev Dr. Michael Paterson used the theme of Provisioning the Voyage to explore what we need to ‘Embark’ on supervision, being ‘At Sea’ as we navigate supervisory practice and ‘Reflecting on the Voyage’ to learn it’s lessons.

Conference Workshops were structured around the theme 

Hobart Waterfront

Our venue is near the beautiful port of Hobart.   Ships leave here for all parts of the world.   Crews of these ships need to be qualified, skilled and resilient.  The boats need to be well provisioned.

On our ‘voyages’ as supervisors and spiritual carers, we need to be similarly well prepared, with the skills, knowledge and provisions required for a safe journey.  Do we know where we are going?  Are our ‘passengers’ safe because of our preparation and skill?  What are we learning that will improve voyages in the future? How can we do things better?  As we turn our gaze towards new horizons on the voyage, are we ready to meet all challenges?

Workshops and seminars help clear our vision, give us new language, open our minds and prepare us to set sail.

Always good to get education before you embark!

We’d hate for you to sink because you didn’t provision the voyage or ship properly!
