In talking about his present role, Anderson said, ‘‘I want to do the best job I can. My job is to try and help the staff in this office fulfill the Ministry’s man- date within the. community, to the benefit of the community.” Prior to moving to Terrace, Anderson majored in philo- sophy and theology at the Uni- versity of Windsor where he earned his Bachelor of Arts De- gree and then enrolled in the University of McGill where he earned his Masters Degree in Arts. He then moved to Kam- loops in 1975 where he served as an Anglican Priest for two years. oe He still serves the community as ‘“‘working priest’? for the Anglican Church and in the past has filled in for the occasional church service and has also done marriage counselling and _ per- formed many weddings in the Northwest. oo “There’s a lot of overlap in the two jobs,’ he’ explained. ‘‘Historically; as a profession, social work evolved from the work of the church in England and the United States during the nineteenth century. . He said the government first became. involved in social work — around the turn of the century when the need for a more unified approach to provide family services and child protec- tion became obvious. - Co-Op.
