19 Year Old M: My 20 year plan is to start another theological college called *Even* Moore College. It'll be just like MTC, except the only subjects offered will be Greek, Preaching and Apologetics. It will, of course, accept only male, Anglican candidates who've done MTS.

1st Year M: Boundaries in ministry are so unbiblical. Church is your family and you're getting paid so you DON'T have to have a job.

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

3rd Year M: I never do trigger warnings in sermons. I want the gospel to hit people hard.

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

2nd Year M: I tried getting into Augustine but he was just so rambly

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

4th Year M: The only use for keeping on doing Anglican liturgy is making sure the liberals can't act like they are the true heirs of the Anglican church and seize power from us evangelicals

4th Year M: Contextualisation is for people who don't trust the power of the pure gospel

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

4th Year M: The more socialist we become the less we will understand justice... and therefore the atonement

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

1st Year M: I don't wanna compare, but you've gotta ask yourself which uni ministry is producing more Bible college students

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

1st Year M: Someone asked me on Sunday about different manuscripts of the NT. I said it was a liberal german thing to undermine our trust in Scripture.

2nd Year M: For the sake of the gospel, people in ministry have a special responsibility to have lots of kids

2nd Year M: Imperialism isn't bad if it's for the advancement of the gospel

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

1st Year M:L Liberal theology books aren't completely useless... you can use them as doorstops and bookstands!

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

3rd Year M: An eye for an eye means that capitalism is more biblical than socialism.

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

4th Year M: The more we entertain socialist ideas the less we'll understand what the atonement achieved.

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

2nd Year M: It's so sad how Greek Orthodox is basically just folk religion and superstition

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

4th Year M: The only reason you need to engage with critical scholarship on the Bible is because someone in your church who doesn't know better might watch a dodgy doco and you need to set them straight

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

2nd Year M: I try to reference only IVP commentaries in my exegeticals... it looks better for my ordination?

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

3rd Year M: Instead of a church that values women in leadership I'd rather a church that values the word of God

[Overheard at Handcraft (and Double Barrel) @AtHandcraft]

4th Year M: I think people massively overrate the amount of bullying happening in churches. Like, do you want empty churches with no senior in them?

2nd Year M: As a country guy I still don't get why all the evangelicals in Sydney hate each other
