Well, well, well! Training allocations pannel met on Tuesday and they didn't confirm what had been discussed previously (see Earlier post about Wesley House!). Instead they have decided to send me to Queens in Birmingham http://www.queens.ac.uk .
Quite a surprise really!
The outcome is a bit frustrating! Whats the point in discussing things, begining to put things into place and then send you elsewhere! I am of course under the discipline of the Methodist Church and thus where they send me I go!
Will post more later.

Next Year......waiting
Well the decision has been made today for where I am to be for the next 2 years. I don't know yet the outcome but apparently there are 4 new UK based Methodist students for Wesley House. The question is am I one of them?! So I am waiting for an e-mail either tommorow or Thursday when all will be revealed.

finishing in London
Scarily I finish in London 6 weeks on Sunday- am supposed to be writing reports at present, ready for my end of year review. I cannot concentrate! Possibly tonight because today has been a busy day at the hospital, or possibly because I am easily distracted!
Next week the final decision should be made about where I will be next year- am looking forward to knowing for certain, at present I am not as certain as I was about where I will be. So am a bit anxious at present.
Lots has been happening over recent weeks, it was good to be in Lancaster for Lois' hen weekend and catch up with people. On the Saturday we went to Ambleside and did a walk, then onto Grassmere in the afternoon, for afternoon tea and went rowing on the lake. We then went out for dinner in Kendal at night. I managed to stay longer than originally planned which meant I got to go back to Lancaster Methodist Church. It was great to be back and catch up with people and worship there again. Lancaster Methodist Church has become my spiritual home and thats where I needed to be after a challenging week.
It was a good weekend and now I am looking forward to Jez and Lois' wedding next weekend. The wedding is down in Cornwall so more travelling! It will be the first time I have seen some of my friends since last August! SO am really looking forward to seeing more friends!
Any way ought to go get some sleep- I have a full day tommorow and then a Guy Chester Centre retreat this weekend!

Next year again- a decision
Today I went for a meeting with the Principal at Wesley House- Phillip Luscombe. The States has been ruled out- Phillip is quite firm that I should have two years in one place- he argues that it is vital for my formation and thus ruled out Candler. So if I am to go to Wesley house at all it will be for two years. So in the end the decision has happened quite quickly! There are to be suggestions and feedback to go to Formation in Ministry- so hopefully we will get some agreement of plans for the next academic year in the next few weeks. Any plans made now will be subject to the agreement of the training pannels in May. We are hoping formation in ministry may agree to me doing an MA in pastoral theology over two years at Wesley House (http://www.theofed.cam.ac.uk/mapt.html). This will also allow me to "fill in the gaps" from the Cambridge Theological Federations courses. If this goes to plan I will do a placement from the end of August to the start of term. I would also live in College.
I feel a huge sense of relief that a decision has been made about America and feel that Wesley House would be good! During the meeting we did consider the other two full time training institutions and they don't seem to be appropriate for me. One had previously been ruled out with Wendy and the other was ruled out today, based on the changes that are occuring.
