Walking with Young Pilgrims: Practical Leadership and Theological Reflection on Youth Pilgrimage course

Leaders of the All Saints Academy South Coast Pilgrimage will reflect with young pilgrims on their experiences of three years of pilgrimage journeys. They will offer practical guidance on logistics, safety, overnight church champing & route planning. They will then theologically reflect, supported by Revd Ginny and Bishop Karen’s experience of setting up and leading pilgrimages and drawing from research from national church research and para-church organisations, to consider how young people’s experience of pilgrimage might be deepened in terms of faith, wellbeing, nature connection to Salisbury Diocese Wild places.

Bishop Karen has been Bishop of Sherborne for nine years. She has much experience of leading retreats, quiet days and pilgrimages.

Revd Virginia (Ginny) Luckett is Vicar in the Golden Cap Benefice & Director of St Wite’s Way, a pilgrimage experience focused around the story and tradition of St Wite, Dorset Patron Saint.

Sarah Lewendon is an RE Teacher & Lead for Collective Worship at All Saints Church of England Academy. Curriculum Area Lead for RE.

Joe Hobday has been a Youthwork Pioneer and leader for 18 years and has walked part of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela with his son.

What our students say

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.

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.

Well worth taking the time

Disability Theology: Theory and Practice

I took time to attend the course out of a busy working week and it was well worth taking that time. I have so many things to ponder and reflect on from this course and a helpful further reading list to keep me going for a few months! Thank you Sarum College

Netflix, Theology and Pastoral Practice

Peter Butchers on his MA in Theology, Imagination and Culture student experience

How do cultural tropes, like those found in Black Mirror, help bridge the gap between what academic theology espouses and what the everyday Christian believes? In his research as a student on the MA in Theology, Imagination and Culture, Peter Butchers explored platonic philosophy, digital theology and eschatology, and pastoral practice around death and dying.

Rewarding Sabbatical Stay

The Revd Greg Syler, is Rector of Ascension & St. George’s, Resurrection Parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, DC USA, spent part of his ministry sabbatical at Sarum College in spring 2022.

His account of the experience begins: ‘I loved spending nearly three weeks of my ministry sabbatical at Sarum College earlier this year.

Not only did I rest, and rest well in the comfortable care of the Sarum College staff, I experienced very significant renewal and fresh insights.’
