Abstract
An integral part of theological education for ministry is placement experience. How that learning impacts current and future practice varies widely. In this article I explore a placement undertaken as part of ordination training at Mill Grove, a witnessing ecclesial community which has been a home for over 1,000 children over the past 113 years. I discuss a range of issues relating to placement learning. In exploring the context and then using a version of the pastoral cycle I identify a range of insights and implications for my future practice both as a theological educator and a priest particularly focused around the theme of love.
