Introduction

Christianity is not an abstract faith. From its beginning, Christianity has engaged with the most pressing questions of the age. This is no less true in the 21st century.The resources of the Christian tradition all serve to enrich and inform pastoral practice and ministry within diverse contexts.

These courses enable those involved in Christian ministry, both lay and ordained, to engage in detailed analytic study of a range of theological subjects, informed by current research and scholarship, and in creative dialogue with pastoral practice. There are specific modules which meet the training needs of newly ordained clergy.

Courses overview

Within the common framework, that includes a practical placement and critical theological reflection, you can choose either a range of modules from across the theological discipline or focus on one particular subject area.

If you choose modules from a range of theological disciplines you'll gain an award in Ministry and Theology. Alternatively, if you decide to focus on liturgy you'll be able to draw on particular modules provided by the College of the Resurrection, which integrate detailed liturgical scholarship with current liturgical practice; this option leads to an MA in Liturgy.
