Dates of modules currently scheduled.
Living Faith is a set of study modules that are open to any Christian wanting to know more about their faith. The programme will begin in September 2009. It also forms part of the training course for Licensed Lay Ministers in the Diocese of Peterborough, and for Methodists training for lay ministry in this District.
Studying a module from the Living Faith programme can be a good way of helping people to think more deeply about their faith. It is not necessary to have done any academic study before, but students will need a reference from their church minister or training establishment tutor to say that they would benefit from this kind of study.
It is possible to choose just an individual module, or to take several over the three years that it takes for the whole programme to run. List of Living Faith modules.
Those taking part in the programme will be encouraged to keep a portfolio of work. This could take a variety of forms – a video diary, an essay, a letter, an audio recording, etc. Where course staff feel that the portfolio has the potential to be awarded University credits at Level 1, the student will be given the option to pursue this.
Each of the modules normally takes the form of four taught sessions and two self directed learning sessions. Students are expected to commit themselves to completing the whole module.
Over a period of three years, all the modules will run once in Northampton and once in Peterborough. The exception to this is the Introduction to the Bible and Study Skills module which will take place at a central location in the diocese.
The fee for each module is £40 per person except for the Core Skills for Children’s Work module, which is free of charge.
