THE ARTHUR TURNER TRAINING SCHOOL

THE DIOCESE OF THE ARCTIC

THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF CANADA

PANGNIRTUNG, NUNAVUT

Brief History of the School

The school was established in 1970 by Bishop D.B. Marsh, the second bishop of the Diocese of the Arctic. The Rev. M.G. Gardener was the first principal. The school was founded for the training of people, both lay and ordained, for the ministry of Christ’s Church particularly in the Diocese of the Arctic. Although the school was not established exclusively for aboriginal people all its student population up until this time have been Inuit. Since the school opened there have been 23 students ordained to the priesthood. Three of these are now bishops in the Diocese of the Arctic.

About this Handbook

This handbook was originally prepared in 1981 to contain a specially designed curriculum and to assist those involved in the school program, both lecturers and students. This revision is required to update and make minor changes to the material. The revision is small, evaluations made over the years have demonstrated the suitability of the special approach to the training for ordained ministry at the Arthur Turner Training School (ATTS).

The school is also used to train layleaders for service in the Diocese. Courses for these ministries have been offered at times when the facilities are not being used by ordinands. This handbook contains only the course set out for ordinands. The layleader course has its own handbook.

“I have come down from heaven to do not my own will but the will of Him who sent me.” (John 6:38 TEV)

“He (God) appointed some to be…pastors and teachers…to prepare all God’s people for the work of Christian service, in order to build up the body of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:11-12 TEV)

“All ministry is God’s ministry. Jesus did not come to introduce his own ministry. His ministry was to do the will of the Father and to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.”

ATTS seeks to train students who come to the school believing they have a personal call to the ordained ministry of the Church. This call is affirmed by being demonstrated, accepted and supported by the local congregation of the student’s home parish.

An essential part of the ordained ministry for which the students receive training is that of helping all God’s people to fulfill the ministry to which God has called them. This ministry reaches out into the local community of the Parish of St. Luke’s, Pangnirtung, of which ATTS students form a part and it looks to the future seeing the ordained graduate as a member of the parish ministry team: a team made up of all the baptized.

CONTEXT OF THE SCHOOL

The school was established in, and designed to serve the people of the Diocese of the Arctic, and in that area particularly the Dene and Inuit whose culture has experienced rapid change since the turn of the last century especially since the 1950s. (See Appendix 1 for a discussion of this change and its effects on the development of the curriculum of ATTS.)

THE COURSE OF TRAINING

The course for ordinands covers three 11 month periods with one holiday each summer. Short breaks are taken at Christmas and Easter. A group of students, with their families, come to ATTS together and, on satisfactory completion of the course, graduate together. Under normal circumstances no new students join the course once it has started.

Courses are normally held Monday through Friday and students are expected to take part in the Sunday activities of the parish. From time to time the principal will allow days off as reading days or for hunting. This practice has a number of purposes. It allows the students to get out onto the land enabling them to hunt and fish and so care for their families and it also gives them a time of refreshment as they return to the traditional ways of their culture. It also gives those who are teaching extra time to prepare materials.

PATTERN OF OPERATION

It is recorded that when Jesus chose the twelve apostles he said to them “I have chosen you to be with me. I will also send you out to preach and you will have authority to drive out demons.” (Mark 3:14-15 TEV). He sought to prepare his disciples for ministry by first calling them into community with himself and into what might be called an apprenticeship program. The course at ATTS is modeled on Jesus’ method of training.

1. We are called to be with Jesus.

When the 1981-1984 session of the school began the wives of the students were asked to design and make a hanging to go behind the Communion Table in the school chapel. It was suggested that the design be one which would illustrate why they and their families had come to the school. When they had finished the hanging, it was covered with a variety of people gathered around the cross. The meaning was made more explicit by the words ‘we want to see Jesus’. These words were written in two Inuktitut dialects and in English. But they did not come to the school to see Jesus for selfish reasons; one of the people is pictured with arms raised facing the others. Jesus is seen to be shared. It is also interesting to note that all the people pictured wear similar clothes – there is no particular individual or group in the Christian community who possesses the sole prerogative to tell of the Jesus whom they have seen.

The students and their families therefore come to the school to see Jesus, an intention assisted by many times of formal and informal worship, prayer, Bible study and a curriculum designed so that teaching is clearly seen as being derived from the Scriptures, with great emphasis on the person, words and works of Jesus. Theology as it has developed is seen as applying the person of Jesus and the words of the Bible to the contemporary situation.

2. We are called to live in a small community.

ATTS is a very small school with, at the most, six students. There is only one permanent staff person – the principal. They and their families form a very close community. This community feeling is nourished not only by living closely together but also by regular celebrations of the Eucharist. Family prayers in each others homes and special meals to celebrate certain events.

The principal and his/her family are key members of this community and are not only sources of information but models to be copied. The parish priest and his/her family, although not as close as members of the school community, are also very important role models.

3. We are called to be a part of the local parish.

ATTS was established in a very strong Anglican community with an active parish life. The students get a great deal of support from the people of the parish and in turn they give much to the community as they put into practice the teaching which they receive. The principal and the parish priest work very closely together to see that the students and the parish get the greatest mutual benefits possible from having the school situated in Pangnirtung.

4. We are called to be a part of the whole Church.

Although the school is in a very isolated part of Canada there is a continuous emphasis throughout the course on the fact that we are a part of the catholic Church. The principal, in consultation with the Bishops of the Diocese of the Arctic, invites people with particular expertise and a keen interest in the people of the north to teach at the school. These people bring a real sense of the universal Church to the school and take away a lasting and generally very good impression of the church in the north.

The school is also a source of much interest to many members of the church around the world. People faithfully support the school by their prayers and are also most generous with their gifts, making it possible for the school to continue its operation. The school community is kept well informed of all this prayerful and dedicated support and so is helped to feel a part of the whole Church of Christ.

STANDARD OF TRAINING

Every training institute is concerned about maintaining a high standard and ATTS is no exception. The method used by ATTS is to ask people of high standing in academic and church life to teach in its program and evaluate it. Lecturers of remarkable ability have contributed to the school. As a result there is an established curriculum for the school.

There are provisions under the territorial education acts to provide financial assistance for ATTS students.

STANDARDS OF ENTRANCE AND TEACHING

Just as ATTS has its own standards for graduation on completion of the course so also it has, because of its unique situation, its own standards for qualification to enter the course leading to ordination. The difference between the cultural setting of ATTS and that of southern theological colleges means that the qualifications for entrance will also be different.

The application forms which must be completed by students, their spouses, and their parish priests, cover a much broader area than academic abilities. Questions are asked not only about their academic qualifications but also about life experiences, ministry in the local community and personal spiritual life and practices. Their local parish priest is asked to comment on these replies and make his/her own comments on the individual. The whole is then carefully and prayerfully reviewed by the Bishops of the Diocese in consultation with the principal and selected senior clergy of the Diocese.

On this basis people with university training have been accepted and others with as low as Grade 6 academic standing who have shown great qualities in other areas of life, have entered and graduated from the course. Every student accepted into the school is expected to be able to complete the course and be acceptable for ordination. This acceptance of students with a wide range of academic backgrounds means that there is often a strong emphasis throughout the course on academic upgrading. This is possible with the small classes that the school enjoys.

Clergy in the Diocese of the Arctic are required to be a least bilingual and to function in English and the predominant aboriginal language of the community in which they live. For this reason, all students entering the school are required to be proficient or to be able, while at ATTS, to work towards proficiency in English and an aboriginal language. Most students in the past have been required to improve their proficiency in the English language. This practice has enabled students to increasingly use the school library – 98% of the library materials being in English.

Worship, including Sunday services in the parish church, are conducted in both English and Inuktitut. This helps the students gain confidence in the public use of both languages.

Throughout the course visiting lecturers are expected to remember that they are usually instructing students in their second language. Most lecturers after the first few days find this less hard than they expect since the classes are so small and feedback easily received. Lecturers are also asked to remember that they are instructing in a cross-cultural situation and are expected to adapt their material accordingly. Again, as long as lecturers remember that these are adults of another culture they are teaching, and will not be satisfied with just youth teaching of the lecturer’s own culture, this difficulty is often found to be less onerous than anticipated. When lecturers do have difficulty and complications with the cross-cultural situation, it is suggested that they share this difficulty with the students. The lecturer’s difficulty – when shared with the students – can be of great value to them. They will, in the ministry for which they are preparing, often find themselves teaching in a reverse, but similar, cross-cultural situation.

Although the chief function of ATTS is to train students for ordained ministry in the Diocese of the Arctic, graduates are ordained for ministry in the Anglican Communion and not just this one diocese. The education given must be broader than that which might be considered necessary for ministry either in the Diocese of the Arctic or even in the Canadian church alone.

The daily program may be modified to fit into other programs and unusual situations but the general pattern for Monday to Friday is:

Time	Program
9 a.m.	Morning Devotions Monday & Friday – Morning Prayer in Chapel Tuesday & Thursday – Family Prayers in Homes Wednesday – Eucharist in Chapel Each day this is followed by Bible Study in one of the following – The Gospel of John, the Letter to the Hebrews, the Revelation to John
10 – 10:45 a.m.	Lecture Period 1
11 – noon	Lecture Period 2
1:30 – 2:30 p.m.	Lecture Period 3
2:45 – 3:30 p.m.	Lecture Period 4

After 3:30 students are free to do homework and to take part in parish activities.

Sunday – Students are expected to take part in the regular parish activities assisting where requested under the direction of the principal and parish priest.

Note: Although periods of teaching are called Lecture Periods the style of teaching may be a discussion or have another format with which the lecturer feels more comfortable.

The school is housed in what used to be St. Luke’s Hospital which was founded in 1931 by the Anglican Church and served the people of the area until 1972 when it was closed. Its work had been taken over by a hospital built in Iqaluit and a nursing station in Pangnirtung itself.

The principal lives in part of the main school building and visiting lecturers stay with the principal. Four student families live in apartments at the opposite end of the main school building.

The school is supported through the interest and by the prayers of many friends of the Diocese of the Arctic who have developed a special interest in the school and its work. These friends are also most generous in their financial support. The Diocese and the National Church also designates funds for the work of the school. Interestingly enough the Arctic Fellowship started by the 1^st Bishop of the Arctic, Bishop Flemming, continues to support ATTS.

The students receive grants and bursaries from the education departments within the Diocese. Students also receive assistance from the school administration in seeking other funding. The school provides subsidized accommodation. Some parishes and individuals are encouraged to support students.

The principal is the only permanent staff person at the school but many other lecturers are invited as guests. Please note:

In keeping with the community emphasis in the school, lecturers are encouraged to be accompanied by their spouses when they come to the school. The school cannot accept any responsibility for the spouse’s travel costs but offers accommodation as a guest of the principal and opportunities to minister in the school community, particularly to the spouses of the students.

The foundation of the ATTS library is based on the collection of the late Rev. David McQuire. This collection was donated to the school by Rev. McQuire’s widow. The library now has a collection of over two thousand books.

Those who come to the school to teach are invited to suggest books that would be valuable to the library, remembering that although students leave with a reading ability at the Grade 12 level they come with as little as Grade 6.

The ATTS curriculum is unique and developed to serve the people of our Diocese. (See Appendix I for development history.)

Detail of the Curriculum

The curriculum is set out in far greater detail than that normally found in a Theological College Calendar. There are three reasons for this detail:

1. Visiting lecturers require fairly explicit details on the section of the course they are to teach at ATTS.

The principal is able to refer a lecturer to the particular section to be taught, with a brief resume of what has already been covered and what will be covered after the visitor has left.

Visiting lecturers are also able to find out from the curriculum the details about other subject areas the students will have studied. For example: A Church Historian would be able to refer to the way a particular medieval theologian developed his theory of the atonement, knowing that the students have already studied the biblical basis of the atonement.

2. The principal can see easily, at any time, what areas of the course have been covered and what remains to be taught.

ATTS students will be ordained to serve in a part of the world where continuing education is difficult to obtain and meetings with other clergy are often less than once a year. So it is important that they be exposed to as many areas of study as possible during the three years they attend ATTS.

3. The students themselves appreciate knowing precisely where they are in the course.

Seeing their concerns printed in a detailed curriculum reduces their anxiety about not being prepared in a particular subject or skill required for the ordained ministry.

The hours assigned to each area or subject are only suggestions. The whole course has to be covered during the three years. All students are different, however, having different strengths, weaknesses, interests and concerns. Some classes will require more time in one area and some less than that allocated. This adjustment can be made by the principal who has the oversight of the whole course.
