"A Summer School of Christian Faith"
About the Timetable & Courses
This year there is no central theme to the week. Instead, in response to feedback from participants and tutors, we have also made changes to the timetable to allow for greater variety and flexibility, and to make best use of teaching time. As you will see from the Timetable, the individual courses are shorter, and there are more of them, thus allowing for a much broader range of topics.
From the 16 courses on offer, participants can select a total of 4 courses to follow for the week - one from each of the Series A, B, C and D.
However, if the long course is selected, B1 & D1 must be chosen together as they form one weeklong course, leaving a further choice of one course from Series A and one from Series C. Courses B3 & D3 can also be combined to make up one week long course or they can be chosen separately. Please see the Timetable and individual Course details for full information.

Accommodation
As usual, we have our fully residential Summer School, which in addition to the courses and Plenary Talks, includes accommodation, and all meals.
The courses and Plenary Talks are also open to non-residential day participants, but meals and accommodation are not included. We hope that local people will take the opportunity to come along to join us each day, and others may wish to stay with friends or in accommodation locally.
Rooms are of varied standard and various sizes reflecting the nature of the buildings. Accommodation will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. For prices and options, please see booking form.
Smoking is not allowed in any of the buildings or in the grounds.
The Living Theology Summer School is always a very friendly place, and if this is your first visit, we hope you will soon make many new friends. There will be various opportunities to socialise over a cup of tea or coffee or even a drink, as well as the chance to enjoy a walk in the College grounds. Use of the excellent swimming pool and gym may be arranged.

Liturgy
The shared liturgies are a very important part of Living Theology, and their success is largely dependent on the involvement of participants. Please bring any musical instruments. Our Director of Liturgy, Philip Jakob, may be contacted on 0114 2737139 or philip.jakob@stmariecathedral.org
Bookshop and course material
There will be a bookshop available mid-week for a limited time. However, it is recommended that participants bring a Jerusalem Bible (study edition in paperback) and also check for any specific requirements for their chosen courses.
