Inspiration & Imagination: Creative Expressions of the Spiritual Life

This module considers the interactions between creativity, the arts and the imagination with theology and spirituality. Through considering a range of modes of creative expression (visual art, poetry, popular music) and a range of themes (making, mysticism, language), we examine how a spiritual life can both be fostered by creating art and our interactions with art, as well as how spirituality is often inspired by artworks.

This excellent creative study of Christian Spirituality is part of the Christian Spirituality postgraduate studies programme and is open to ‘auditors’ e.g. those who join the course without receiving academic credit.

What does it mean to audit a course? 

This course would made an excellent addition to a study break, retreat or sabbatical in the beautiful Salisbury Cathedral Close, where residential participants enjoy full board, access to the library and to the pattern of liturgy at Salisbury Cathedral.

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.
