Rhyss is on leave as an Anglican minister teaching at Ridley College Melbourne (seminary) researching the ecclesiology of Jonathan Edwards for doctoral dissertation i. e trying to work out if his view of the church is reactive to the revivals, or an integral part of his view of God's work in the world. Rhyss taught German at the University of Melbourne, where he was also a chaplain, has a passion for training leaders for the church, is a serious coffee drinker, loves teaching history of evangelicalism because it is full of the most amazing stories, more patriotic overseas than when at home!, loves to travel - has visited sites of the Wesleys' ministry in Georgia, and Civil War sites since being in the US, led a tour from Australia to the sites of the German and Swiss Reformation in June 2007, loves hiking in Tasmanian wilderness and loves being walked by his dog, Boniface, a Staffordshire Bull terrier.
Kyle is a Ph.D student at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, working in the area of systematic theology. For his dissertation he is looking at Jonathan Edwards' doctrine of sanctification through his Christology. Kyle's background is in Philosophy of Religion, New Testament, and Christian Spirituality (all at Talbot School of Theology), and is looking to focus on the doctrines of Christology, Pneumatology, and sanctification towards a more robust understanding of spirituality. Kyle will be at the JEC researching for 6 months before he goes back to Scotland.
