SEI’s Board of Examiners met on Tuesday 30 July 2024 via Zoom to consider the progression of its students and to make recommendations for awards to the Durham University (Overarching) Board of Examiners.
Like the other sixteen theological education institutions in the Common Awards scheme, SEI operates its own Board of Examiners in line with guidance issued by Durham University. Dr Alistair Mason, one of SEI’s long-serving Associate Tutors, Chairs the Board of Examiners and, therefore, each of its meetings. Dr Andrew Boakye, Lecturer in Religions and Theology, University of Manchester, is SEI’s External Examiner, having been appointed by Durham. External Examiners offer informed, independent and impartial judgements about the appropriateness and comparability of the standards of awards.
There were smiles across the screen as the meeting proceeded, not only from Dr Mason and Dr Boakye, but also from SEI’s Internal Examiners, the Revd Katrin Bosse, Dr Alasdair Coles, Dr John Davies, Prof. Michael Hull and Dr Richard Tiplady, and, of course, from the Board’s Secretary, Dr Anna-Claar Thomasson-Rosingh, who organised the meeting with the help of Mrs Linda Harrison, SEI’s Administrator. Please keep SEI’s students in your prayers as some continue and some complete their theological studies with the aim of sharing their wisdom and learning with their sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus.
