Spirituality & Discipleship Taster Term – Starting March 2024

Find out what theological study is all about by undertaking a taster module. Learn alongside current students and explore spiritual practises for yourself first-hand.

The theology taster term runs from March 2024 – June 2024.

Classes can be taken on either:

• Evening classes on Mondays at Southwark
• Online Evening classes on Wednesdays
• Fortnightly teaching days on Fridays at Malling Abbey

This module in Spirituality & Discipleship, which costs just £250 to study, serves as a dynamic and engaging introduction to Christian Spirituality.

The classes will bring you back to basics, perhaps further back than you might expect. Our questions are not so much ‘how do I pray?’ but rather ‘what sort of creature am I, if I am a creature called to pray?’

You will be encouraged to think about what we mean by ‘spirit’. We explore what spirituality means as Christians who follow Jesus in whom God ‘was made flesh’. And to try to answer this question, you’ll examine not only theology, but contemporary science.

Alongside theoretical learning, there is plenty of opportunity to have a go at some hands-on spiritual practices. This will help you learn about yourself and the forms of spiritual practice that, at this stage in your life, draw into the presence of God.

Please note each session has a limit on numbers, so get in touch if you are thinking of studying with us.
