Doctrine, Truth and Pluralism 

July 30, August 6,13, September 10, 17

This subject is perfect for UCA ministers, postgraduate students and those looking to explore “big issues” in the church. 

Students in this unit have the opportunity to explore the beliefs held and taught by the church, and how those beliefs can act as a dynamic resource for shaping the church, the church’s collective imagination, and embedding Christianity’s truth claims in the practices which emerge from that imagination. Doctrine itself and how it relates to hermeneutics, contextual theology and denominational diversity is also studied.

Taught by Rev. Dr. Geoff Thompson, this topic is sure to engage both the theologically advanced and those who want to explore their personal faiths.

Foundations for Religious Education

Discuss and discover what R.E. means in a contemporary Australia, what it means to be a religious educator and why religious education matters.  This unit will draw on principles of curriculum planning and current documentation, and will allow you to plan a unit of work or study activity for a small group.

Taught by Dr. Amanda Burritt, this is an intensive that will help you as an educator or facilitator truly communicate with your chosen audience.
