Resignation

It is with a mixture of expectation and regret that on what is
almost my 7th anniversary of coming on staff that I tender this formal
advice of my decision to resign from the paid team at _________________
effective January 9th 2009.

I feel the regret because a huge part of me is very tied to this
church, the ministry of ___________________ and to the rest of the team
here.  It has been a formative experience, and while I’ll still be
around the traps lecturing in college and taking pictures I will sorely
miss being a so immediate a part of the team.

Expectation however, because after 7 years here and having learned
so much, developed both professionally and personally in ways I could
never have done elsewhere, I am going on to further my skills by
embarking on a Masters Degree at Sydney University.

I wish to extend my grateful thanks to _________________
and the team for their faith in me and their incredible support through
the whole 7 years, it’s been amazing.  The Post-grad program in Arts at
Sydney Uni, to which I’m going, is one of the top 20 arts programs in
the world.  It’s a testimony to the extraordinary step SCA took to
offer a degree program that I’m even able to consider this next move.

I’m so very grateful.
