Owned by the Churches of Christ in Australia, the college delivers a mix of distance learning and face-to-face delivery. The college was formed as the result of the 1999 merger of Kenmore College (Queensland) and the Churches of Christ Theological College (New South Wales). In 2012 the Queensland Churches of Christ Conference reluctantly left the ownership of the college and ceased its financial support. ==Overview== The college integrates academic studies, skill-enhancement competencies and character-formation〔Farmer, K., & Dowson, M. (2000), Networking against the "tyranny of distance" in ministry preparation, ''Reo: A Journal of Theology and Ministry'', 18, pp. 25-42.〕 ACOM's model of training has been noted by a scholar〔e.g., Banks, 1999〕 for its commitment to the integration of theory and practice, situated learning and the role of the mentor in student learning. In its four schools (Bible, theology, leadership and spirituality), ACOM houses a faculty with a focus on leadership and teaching.〔McInerney, D.M., Dowson, M., & Yeung, A.S. (2005), Facilitating conditions for School Motivation: Construct validity and applicability, ''Educational and Psychological Measurement'', 65, pp. 1046-1066〕〔Miner, M., Sterland, S., & Dowson, M. (2006). Coping with Ministry: Development of a multidimensional measure of orientations to the demands of ministry, ''Review of Religious Research'', pp. 212-230〕 This faculty serves over 700 students across Australia (comprising 450 vocational, 180 undergraduate and 100 postgraduate students) and employs staff in five Australian states and the Australian Capital Territory. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian College of Ministries」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
