For the first time at CRE National, a number of leading theological colleges will come together to create a Study Zone, for people of all ages interested in life-long learning – from short courses to doctorates, summer schools to evening classes, residential and online.
Situated around a bespoke seminar area, participating colleges will contribute short but powerful presentations on the whys and wherefores of theological study, as well as a number of CREd talks in the Arts Café on subjects such as euthanasia and artificial intelligence. If you’ve ever considered ordination, or simply want to deepen your knowledge of the Bible and how that can practically impact your faith, be sure to consider all the options open to you in the Study Zone.
Exhibitors include All Nations College, London School of Theology (LST), Moorlands College, Oak Hill College and Waverley Abbey College.
