Theology & Culture

Colin Greene, Programme Leader, Theology, Imagination and Culture

Uniquely dedicated to intellectual exploration of faith and mission through excellent theological research and teaching.

There are a number of ways to pursue theological enquiry here, from short courses to public lectures to postgraduate programmes.

The College is home to the Southern Theological Education and Training Scheme (STETS), which delivers initial ministerial training for the Church of England and other churches, and Sarum’s theological programmes benefit enormously from a cooperative relationship between the two organisations.

These study opportunities, along with intensive courses such as Biblical Study Breaks and annual events such as the Sarum Theological Lectures, are among the many ways in which Sarum College makes specialist work in this area accessible to a wide audience.
