Seminary of the 3rd Age - Panel Forum - The centrality and relevance of inclusivity

The panel for this discussion will include Dr Margaret Cargill and Max Howland.

An almost completely retired applied linguist, Margaret's most recent work was teaching scientists to write publishable research articles in English, notably on 30+ trips to China, 2001-2019. With husband Colin she has lived and worked in the US, Switzerland and Tonga, as well as NSW and SA; she speaks French and German rustily and a little Tongan. Their two children and partners are living overseas. Margaret is currently Assistant Council Secretary and AV Team Leader at Morialta UCA, Magill, and helps lead their Gateways reading/discussion group, which focuses on ‘progressive’ themes and challenges.

Max is an accredited Lay Preacher in the Uniting Church, and Convener of the Lay Preachers’ Committees in SA and nationally. After graduating from the Adelaide Teachers’ College and University of Adelaide, Max began a teaching career involving foreign languages, maths, and work as a Teacher-Librarian. He left paid employment early and undertook degree studies in theology, during which time he also took on a number of volunteering roles. Max is married to Maureen. Together they are active in their local Uniting Church congregation, and in the wider church. He enjoys listening to music – most kinds; keeps an eye on developments in scientific areas at the “consumer” level; and indulges in a bit of photography.
