University Chaplain Mother Nita Byrd will attend the 8th International CUAC Triennial in South Korea at Sungkonghoe University on July 5 to explore the theme, “Education as Hope: Working toward transformation in our common world.” The conference will provide opportunities for delegates to form relationships and network with other Anglican colleges and universities among the participating vice chancellors, presidents, chaplains and faculty.

“Recognizing that transformation occurs at the individual and community levels we will explore personal, societal and ecological transformation as we attend plenary sessions led by Anglican educators from South Korea, Liberia, New Zealand, India, the United Kingdom and the United States,” Mother Byrd said.

According to Mother Byrd, Saint Augustine’s University is a member organization in the Colleges and Universities of the Anglican Communion (CUAC) which meets every three years.

“As I travel to Sungkonghoe University this week, I am proud to represent the Falcons who reflect the essence of Christian education within the Worldwide Anglican Communion,” Mother Byrd said. “We are a Communion which values dialogue and a commitment to authentic relationships as we strive to maintain the bonds of affection among our members. Know that Saint Augustine’s University will be part of this ongoing relationship with our member colleges and universities around the world this summer.”

Mother Byrd further stated, “Saint Augustine’s University values a trilogy of behaviors that empower students to transform, excel and lead. Through our commitment to academic integrity within an atmosphere of respect and high standards, our students are not only prepared to excel in the classroom, but are also able to be the transformative agents of God’s grace in the world.”
