Reverend Benji Callen had a promising research career ahead of him. But he felt that something was missing.
But Reverend Callen realised he was different. While he "enjoyed the intellectual rigour and creativity" of working in science, he "always had this sense that something wasn't quite right".
"People talk about it being one of the hardest jobs around, and I'd agree with that," he says. "I enjoy the huge variety – no one day is ever the same."Ann Edwards, Priest-in-Charge at St Mark's Anglican Church at The Gap, remembers always having a sense of faith.In the days before women's ordination, she used to joke she would become the first female priest in the Anglican church.
When a wrist injury prevented Reverend Edwards from pursuing the clarinet after school, she chose a new career path almost at random: speech pathology. For Ann Edwards, "the gospel imperative to love our neighbours" means ensuring the church is an inclusive space for everyone in the community. As a minister, Reverend Edwards finds the same satisfaction from building relationships that she did in her clinical work.
