Place and given contribution Dates
St. Mary's Church [Anglican], Barton-upon-Humber: A 27 hours a week for 17 weeks Project consisting of the production of some 250 archive webpages on the church website (with a focus on 1972-1973, due to documentation and local change); a syllabus and eight of 25 intended Theology Course sessions and beginning presentation (these continuing); and an academic standard rewriting of a 1971 low standard dissertation on clergy training (adding a bibliography). These activities systematised my ICT skills of scanning, editing and producing webpages, enhancing the church's self-understanding of change and boosting its connection with the town; revived my academic presentation skills, significantly improving a clergy training dissertation; and sharpened teaching skills of planning, preparation and delivery, spreading theological knowledge within the church using adult education principles. This involved prioritising the three elements and the distribution of activities between home ICT facilities and church. Rev. David Rowett, blessedgodric@aol.com 01652 632202 09/06/2008 - 05/10/2008
