Nungalinya College |
| Joy was made priest in September 2006. She arrived in Darwin in July, 2003 to work for the Nungalinya College and the Diocese. Nungalinya is a partnership of the Anglican, Catholic and Uniting Churches. It
provides training for indigenous ministers and leaders throughout Australia. Joy co-ordinates the literacy and language
work of the college. Joy also works for the Diocese on projects related to the use of scripture in Aboriginal languages
for the Anglican Aboriginal churches in Arnhem Land, as well as mentoring Aboriginal church woman. Joy's work is funded by
BCA and the Bible Society. Nungalinya College offers courses designed for Aboriginal and TSI (Torres Strait Islanders) approaches to life and learning, including courses in Theology at Certificate and Associate Diploma level, an Advanced Diploma in Ministry. There are also Certificate level course in Community Organising and Women's Bi-cultural Life Studies. There is also a Certificate in Textile Arts and short courses in Cross Cultural Awareness. The growth in popularity of all the courses means that teaching space is at a premium and we urgently need a new chapel.
