The Interfaith Seminary   Faculty & speakers

Training ministers in an inclusive global spirituality

 

Faculty appointments for the teaching year commencing October 2008 will begin in April with the appointment of a new faculty leader. Information about these faculty members will be posted here when details are finalised.
 
Our faculty are a group of talented men and women from varied spiritual backgrounds, with substantial experience in education, psychology, community building and the healing arts.  Most are themselves graduates of the Seminary's training and active interfaith ministers.
 
Each training programme starting in autumn 2008 will have a core tutor who will be with the class throughout the two-year programme, from induction to ordination. That person will be assisted by:
 

Visiting speakers

In addition to The Interfaith Seminary's core tutors and visiting tutors (mentioned above), we are privileged to have contributions from visiting speakers representing the world's great religious and spiritual traditions. These speakers provide an insight into their faith background and practices, and enter into deep and open dialogue about aspects that particularly interest or trouble students.
 
It is of course difficult to cover all the world's faith traditions in the training. For the programmes starting in October and November 2008, our emphasis will be less on breadth, and more on depth – focusing on key faith traditions, or groupings of traditions, and exploring these with approaches that, once learned, students can then apply elsewhere.
 
Below we list some of the visiting speakers who have enriched our training programmes in recent years. We hope that many of them will continue to be involved in the coming year. When details of speakers are confirmed, these will be posted on the Seminary's website.
