The Curate at Saint John’s Canberra will be honoured for outstanding academic achievements at Charles Sturt University (CSU) when she is awarded the CSU Medal at her graduation on Thursday 20 May. Ordained as an Anglican Deacon in November 2009, The Rev. Susan Bridge will be awarded a Bachelor of Theology with Distinction during the CSU graduation ceremony from 5pm in the Parramatta Town Hall in Sydney. The graduate is a lawyer and worked in senior management positions before leaving her former career to study at CSU through the St Mark's National Theological Centre by distance education. The Rev. Bridge moved from Sydney to Canberra in the final year of her degree in 2009 to continue her studies on campus and to be ordained in the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn. "I loved studying at St Mark's and now I am delighted to be involved in the life of a vibrant Anglican parish based in the Canberra suburb of Reid," she said.
