Abstract
A Note from the EditorsTruly there is nothing more exciting than watching something that you barely allowed yourself to dream about years before finally coming to life before your eyes.Looking back at this story I see the theme of our current issue so vividly -using the past to inform the future.As a Master of Library Studies student at the University of Alberta, I (Karina) attended a peer review workshop in the fall of 2018 and was part of starting a journal with other likeminded library students.While participating in peer review, I was hit with the realization that Vanguard College students might also like the opportunity to publish their work.Who wants to pour hours of time, energy, and effort into a research paper that you simply throw away after it is graded?I used my past experiences as an editorial board member and peer reviewer on this library journal to inform the future of a journal at Vanguard College.A year or so after this first venture into academic publishing as a peer reviewer and editorial board participant, I started approaching faculty about the idea of incorporating journal publishing into their course work here at Vanguard.The complexity of setting up a system to handle this kind of publishing was a bit daunting.However, the University of Alberta has an open access publishing platform that they are not only willing to share with other institutions, but they also provide the support and training editorial boards need to get a journal started.After some discussion with digital initiative librarians in publishing at the University of Alberta, I concluded that one publication for the whole school would be the wisest course of action.In this way, we are using those librarians' past experiences to inform our future.After mentioning the idea to a handful of students and alumni, enough excitement was generated to have our inaugural meeting in the spring of 2021.I would like to thank each person in attendance at that meeting for their contributions to what would become the scope and vision of this journal.We knew we wanted a mix of readers and authors at a variety of scholarly levels.Highlighting the intersection of theology and applied ministry, we dreamed of an open-access journal dedicated to publishing the scholarly works of students, scholars, and practitioners.This journal would allow current students to publish their hard work on assignments while also encouraging pastors/practitioners to continue thinking about, discussing, and publishing theology.Reciprocally, scholars also get to interact with perspectives from the trenches of ministry, and both pastors and scholars get to benefit from the fresh perspectives of students.Essentially, all three groups interact with the scholarly conversation together and use their collective past to inform each other's futures.We remain rooted in our affiliation with Vanguard College and the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, participating in the College's mission to "develop and mobilize Spirit empowered leaders to be fruitful in God's mission."We also welcome participants to the academic conversation that are not affiliated with Vanguard College or the PAOC, but still desire to engage with the intersection of theology and applied ministry within their field or denomination.Therefore, the stated goals of the Vanguard Journal of Theology and Ministry (VJTM) are to: provide students the opportunity to contribute their perspective to academic discussion encourage pastors and practitioners to engage in theological and scholarly discussion promote the integration of theological study with applied ministry experience VJTM, 1(1) |page 2

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
