Grass Roots Theology Day: The Life Everlasting

A day on grass roots theology on Saturday 14 January. Organised by a couple of parish priests, The Revd Jo Stobart (Vicar, Ilminster and Whitelackington) and The Revd Martin Little (Vicar of Highbridge), who want to weave a bit more theology into everyday life and ministry. It is from a Christian perspective, but is open to all who are interested in theology, lay and ordained, of all faiths and none.

The keynote speaker is The Revd Canon Professor James Woodward, Principal of Sarum College in Salisbury. James is a practical theologian who specialises in health and healing, old age, theological reflection and end of life care. He has taught in a number of universities including the Open University and in Warwick Business and Medical Schools and the University of Birmingham. He is much in demand as a speaker and lecturer. He has written and edited fifteen books.

We also welcome submissions for short papers of no more than 10 minutes (with 5 minutes of questions) to be given on any aspect of theology related to the theme. We welcome submissions from lay or ordained people, those with or without academic qualifications. All submissions gratefully considered (we reserve the right to choose which ones make the programme, to ensure balance and quality.)

Venue: St Mary’s Church Church Street Wedmore BS28 4AB

What our students say

A wonderful opportunity for peaceful reflection and deeper knowledge

Praying the Psalms of the Passion Course

It was a wonderful opportunity for peaceful reflection and deeper knowledge at the start of one of the busiest weeks of the year. It made all the difference.

Absolutely loved it and learned a lot.

Spiritual Landscapes Course

It was a thoroughly enjoyable well put together experience. Absolutely loved it and learned a lot.

The course provided space for personal reflection

Theology Catch-Up Course

It supported my learning and helped me to think about my faith. The course provided space for personal reflection which I greatly appreciated.

Riveting!

Book of Revelation course

Someone on the course said it was ‘riveting!’ This was exactly what I felt. The course was a total joy because of the tutor’s handouts, excellence and Sarum College hospitality.
Mark Oakley

Faith is an imaginative adventure

The Very Revd Dr Mark Oakley

I admire the work and tone of Sarum College very deeply. It is a community that takes theology and spirituality seriously, not as hobbies but as pursuits into understanding, and engaging in, a complex world.

Sarum College reminds us that faith is an imaginative adventure and that it is shaped by a questioning joy.

Vibrant approach to theology

Fr Azariah France-Williams

I’ve been particularly struck by the refreshing approach to theological education here. In a world, and indeed within parts of the church, where faith can sometimes feel stagnant or out of touch, Sarum offers a vibrant and relevant alternative. The courses encourage a bold exploration of profound ideas, connecting with truths that lie beneath the surface and fostering genuine personal growth, which feels particularly significant as I approach my 50th year. This counter-cultural spirit, which embraces depth and challenges ageism and fear, is truly remarkable. Sarum is a place where individuals can be transformed by engaging with a living and breathing faith.
