Universally Challenged – lockdown quiz take 2!

Nov 30 Posted by Rebecca Young. Under Fundraising,

Some of you will have rosy memories of the last round of Universally Challenged, the quiz show that shows just how maniacally competitive Christians can be when they let themselves go.  Here is our second venture onto the blood-stained sand of the arena!  Jael’s Tent Pegs (students) v Pilate’s Pasties (staff)…. All donations to the Tattersall independent bursary fund.

Fr Luigi Gioia – advent retreat beginning 29 November.

Nov 24 Posted by Rebecca Young. Under Virtual Retreat,

On the 29th of November, we launch our next retreat which is led by Luigi Gioia. Luigi has recently joined us as an associate tutor with a specialisation in spirituality and history. He has had a great deal of experience in spiritual direction and in leading retreats, so we’re very much looking forward to this new, four week programme. His themes tie in with the Advent season, so some of you might like to make the retreat the focus of an Advent group in your church. The sessions are ‘Waiting’, ‘Watching’, ‘Rejoicing’, and ‘Consoling’.  See…

Biblical Studies taster module

Nov 16 Posted by Rebecca Young. Under Study theology,

If studying theology seems too big a step to take and you’re not certain that is for you, then join us for a ‘taster module’ (£125). See here for further details.

Introducing Luigi Gioia who will be leading our Advent on-line retreat

Nov 10 Posted by Rebecca Young. Under Virtual Retreat,

Over the past 20 years, Fr Luigi Gioia has been actively involved in a variety of contexts: academia (Oxford, the Pontifical University of S. Anselmo in Rome, Cambridge, St John Collegeville, MN, USA), pastoral (as novice master in France, as abbot in Italy, as assistant priest in St Paul Knightsbridge in London), administrative (as director of the library in S. Anselmo) and organizational (as creator and academic director of the course on Leadership and the Rule of St Benedict and as Director of the Formation Program Quest in St Paul Knightsbridge, London).  These experiences have…

Fundraising Quiz

Nov 9 Posted by Rebecca Young. Under Fundraising,

A couple of years ago we established the Tattersall Fund, which allows us to give much needed financial support to independent students unable to meet the full cost of fees. This is very much part of our commitment to making theological education as widely accessible as possible.  In these COVID ridden times, however, we’ve had a rise in applications and the funds now look pretty thin for next year at a point when we can’t get on with familiar fundraising efforts such as book sales, collections at services, and St Augustine’s day. To meet the needs…

Praying the Parables – this week we are asked to ‘Befriend the Night’

Nov 7 Posted by Rebecca Young. Under Virtual Retreat,

In this week’s praying the parables Chris talks about the Night which belongs to the rhythm of our lives every bit as much as day. The book of Genesis describes God creating the two, night and day, the underlying rhythm of being and becoming. In the darkness – whatever its cause and effects might be for you – life goes on growing if only you can be receptive to it. You can’t make light happen; it will come when it comes. And the darkness itself holds its invitation, for God dwells here too. Rest…be receptive…

Meet the College’s Chaplain – Revd Harriet Johnson

Nov 6 Posted by Rebecca Young. Under Latest News,

Harriet was appointed part-time Chaplain at St Augustine’s on 1 September.  Harriet spent over 20 years working for the Foreign Office, in a mixture of jobs in London and overseas, including 4 years in Beijing and 6 in the Falkland Islands.  When she took voluntary redundancy she knew then the time was right to test her vocation to ministry and her rector sent her to see the DDO who suggested Harriet study a module at St Augustine’s. Harriet then signed on as a full-time independent student whilst going through discernment. In normal circumstances, she’d be…

An interview for St Augustine’s with Bishop Rose

Nov 5 Posted by Rebecca Young. Under Latest News,

I consciously believe, that right now in the life of the Church, God is opening up many opportunities for ministry in the Church of England. Theological colleges have a critical role to play as it seeks to equip leaders to embrace these opportunities. We often do not engage with what God is doing in our midst because we lack the confidence to embrace God in the public square. We grow up thinking (and sometimes we are taught) that faith is private (between us and God) and with this, we lose confidence and the language of…

Admissions 2021 – a message from Revd Dr Alan Gregory

Nov 3 Posted by Rebecca Young. Under From the Principal,

Dear All As you can imagine, we’ve spent some time thinking about our recruitment practices for the coming year, especially with the likelihood of more time in lockdown and, almost certainly, a ‘mixed economy’ of online and face to face time for the year ahead. We have decided to develop our existing practice of focusing on the individual ordinand and enquirer, offering them a range of ways into the St Augustine’s experience, as it were. These includes conversations – early in the process – with Principal and senior staff, meetings with current students, virtual tours,…
