Courses and Events

Courses at Sarum CollegeSarum College in Salisbury’s Cathedral Close is the region’s leading centre for learning on spirituality, iturgy, theology, leadership and the arts.

We provide an extensive educational programme, from a wide variety of short courses to two MA programmes delivered in partnership with the University of Winchester: one in Christian Spirituality and the other in Christian Liturgy.

Many of our courses are residential, giving visitors the opportunity to sample the whole "Sarum experience". Residential courses often begin with dinner on the first evening, an introduction lecture, and time to relax in the bar and meet other participants. In addition to the excellent teaching by College staff and external experts, specially organised trips are sometimes included in the programme.

Learning with like-minded people while staying in a Grade 1 listed building in the Cathedral Close is an experience to remember.

Sarum College's international symposium will consider the multifaceted role played by wisdom within Christian thought and practice and reflect on ways in which wisdom can inform the mission of the Christian churches today. Our purpose in organising such an event is to carefully discern how wisdom can help our churches to interrelate theology, spirituality and Christian practice.
