Dear Friends,

We are delighted to announce the success of the first of the Living Theology 2010 summer courses which has now taken place. This was organised in collaboration with the Diocese of Westminster Seminary at Allen Hall from Friday 9 July to Monday 12 July at Allen Hall, Chelsea, London. This was a new addition to our summer programme. ( Click here for full details. See also article in the April 2010 issue of 'S.J' the monthly on-line Newsletter of the British Province of the Society of Jesus). Our thanks to the participants and all who made this event such a happy and enriching experience.

Some places are still available for the Living Theology 2010 Summer School at Mount St. Mary's College, Spinkhill, Derbyshire to be held from Monday 26 July to Saturday 31 July, so why not come along and join us? This is also open to non-residential day participants which we hope will also appeal to those living locally and people wishing to make their own accommodation arrangements. This year, in response to feedback, we have introduced a number of exciting changes to the programme which add greater variety, and offer more flexibility when selecting courses to follow. Click here for full details. An article about the Summer School can be read on page 2 of the June 2010 issue of 'S.J.'

Please help us to spread the word by telling your friends about Living Theology, and if you can print off a poster for display at your local church it would be very much appreciated - thank you.

Finally, if you would like to be added to our Emailing list, or would prefer to receive details of Living Theology events for yourself or friends by post, please Email your postal details to us at lt@heythrop.ac.uk

We look forward to seeing you at a future Living Theology event, where you can be assured of a very warm welcome.

WHAT IS "LIVING THEOLOGY" ?

Overview

For over forty years Jesuits and their associates have supported a residential summer school of Christian Faith in the Catholic tradition. In recent years, in addition to the annual residential summer school, various non-residential events have also taken place at several other venues.

We seek to provide opportunities for Christians of all denominations

to deepen their knowledge of the Christian faith,
to learn new and helpful ways of looking at the whole Christian tradition,
to develop their personal reflection on Christian living and belief.

We strive to create an environment in which

liturgies of prayer, Eucharist and reconciliation enrich the experience of the reflecting community,
real questions of Christian living can be discussed frankly, intelligently and without prejudice.

The courses are taught by Jesuits and their associates - some university lecturers, some engaged in academic study and some involved in a variety of pastoral work.
