Teaching at the Chaplaincy

Bible for Bluffers

Every Wednesday from 1-2pm in term time the Chaplaincy hosts a student discussion group. The Bible for Bluffers explores theology in an open questioning and fun way - with doughnuts! A bread, cheese and fruit lunch is provided. We also have follow-up notes on our blog.

A Student's View

"[a] rare opportunity to engage with informed Christians and non-Christians alike ... has been invaluable in my spiritual growth as a person over this last year"

                                                           (Jean, PG)

Lectures
