Conference Council Affirmation April 2010: Lyn McCredden
That the Conference Council of Churches of Christ in Victoria and Tasmania recognises and affirms the unique and outstanding leadership offered by Lyn McCredden to the boards of the then College of the Bible, and subsequently the Churches of Christ Theological College. Lyn has selflessly offered this leadership since July 1983, nearly 27 years. She has done this by sensitively yet courageously weaving together a strong Christian faith and worldview with a constantly evolving and yet always high commitment to academic excellence and process. Through all this she has been able to integrate the skills and passion of her daily vocation (and what it means to be a follower of Jesus and a part of Churches of Christ there), with the rigours of governance of another academy of learning. Her contribution to a wide range of sub committees, task groups and selection and review panels has been significant.
