in tackling issues over which society is sometimes divided, including

further details:
For many years Heythrop has provided much acclaimed courses in pastoral theology. The MA Pastoral theology programme was restructured in 2007. It is designed particularly, though not exclusively, for those in, or preparing for, ministry in the Christian Churches, whether ordained or not. It is also relevant for teachers, counsellors, therapists, and healthcare professionals. Pastoral theology seeks to integrate the theoretical and the practical, theology and experience, faith and action. The aims of the programme are: to foster critical examination of Christian life and ministry, both individual and corporate, recognising differences between Christian traditions; to promote reflection on the relationships between faith, humanity, experience, practice, professional and working life, church, culture, social context and theology; and to enable students to develop a capacity for systematic theological reflection on lived experience, pastoral ministry and the specific situations of their life and work. There are two pathways in the degree to follow either Pastoral Theology, Church and Society or Pastoral Theology for Ministry, with an appropriate selection of modules for each pathway. For

time to assimilate each day's course work and prepare for the subsequent
session. Each day’s programme will be from 9:30 to 17:30 with breaks
for lunch and refreshments. Participants

reading materials and exercises, before the start of the course
in order to do any preparation needed. For
