We’re thrilled to be part of this project! Our proposal, draws scientific study into our core teaching in spirituality and cultural engagement, taking us beyond the traditional apologetic focus on these questions. This will feed through all the courses offered across the College, benefitting all our student cohorts through the different licensed ministry pathways and independent study. Further details to follow! You can find out more here: https://www.eclasproject.org/science-for-seminaries…/…

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,…

We were delighted that so many of you appreciated our trilogy of online retreats, each responding in a slightly different way to the anxieties, griefs, and bewilderments of the global pandemic. On the 18th of October, we launch the first of a year’s worth of new online retreats that take up a number of important themes in Christian life and prayer. As you’ll see from the attached flier, each retreat consists of four weekly sessions. The exception is, of course, the one offered for Lent, which lasts five weeks. Themes include Advent and the strange…

When ‘lockdown’ began September seemed a long way off and I so assumed we’d begin the Autumn Term as we normally do. Now, the future looks rather different. Along with Durham university and other Church of England theological colleges, St Augustine’s will open in September for the new academic year, initially delivering an online induction for new students before launching online classes for the week beginning 21 September. We shall pay close attention to government health advice and, assuming it is safe, transition back to face-to-face learning, beginning with smaller classes, perhaps later in the…

We are currently following measures designed to combat the spread of COVID-19. From now on, our teaching will move online and all students and staff should consult ‘Moodle’ to find more information (log in at the bottom of this page). For anyone interested in learning about the college or thinking about applying to study here, please see the notice, “Still Open for Enquirers.” Be wise, do all you can to stay well, help others where you can, and keep in prayer.

You can attend all or part of these West Malling Friday teaching days, sitting in on classes, meeting with staff, attending Chapel worship and chatting with students over lunch. This is a great way of getting a feel for what we do and how you might flourish at the college. In the spring term you are welcome to come along to Church History; Christian Doctrine; New Testament Studies; and Further Old Testament Studies (MA level)
