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.

This year the residential summer school is again at Ushaw College, Durham, and will be held from SUNDAY JULY 27 - FRIDAY AUGUST 1. The theme of the keynote lectures is 'THE CHURCH & THE WORLD: THE NATURE OF DIALOGUE' with special reference to the challenge of dialogue with science, with other faiths and with relativism.'

Full details of this together with other Living Theology events in 2008, are given on the relevant web pages.



Living Theology is under the auspices of the Trustees for Roman Catholic Purposes
