Mid Ministry Course: from September 2008 we hope to offer clergy with 10 or more years of public ministry the opportunity of joining with Methodist colleagues of equivalent experience to pilot a Mid Ministry Course. The course will include modules on Biblical Studies, Theology, Ministry & Mission, Theology in Practice and a Dissertation. There will be six places for each denomination and the course will be routed through the Urban Theology Unit and validated by the University College of York St John. The course can be taken at M level or at level 3 (BA hons) or audited if there are particular circumstances suggesting this.
For further details contact the Director of Ministry, Revd Canon John Thomson on 01709-309143 or email on ‘john.thomson@sheffield.anglican.org’. Grant applications can be made direct from this site.
