New Lay Training Opportunities in Dublin and Belfast
The Church of Ireland Theological Institute and Edgehill Theological College are hosting a new series of lay training opportunities during the year.
The Faith in Everyday Living series is aimed at members of the Church of Ireland and the Methodist Church in Ireland and is designed to encourage theological reflection, fellowship and discussion on matters of everyday discipleship.
The series will run on separate dates in both Belfast and Dublin and for the first time training for the laity will utilise both CITI in Dublin and ETC in Belfast.
The series will explore the themes of Praying Well, Parenting Well and Working Well. Praying Well will explore how to deepen one’s experience of prayer and different styles of prayer. It will be facilitated by Louise Wilson, training and development officer at ETC and David Brown, lay training coordinator at CITI. It takes place on March 22 in Dublin and on October 18 in Belfast.
Parenting Well is a one day workshop exploring how to best parent teenagers and will be delivered in partnership with Love for Life. It will be held on May 10 in Belfast and November 22 in Dublin.
Working well will be an evening workshop aimed at people who are interested in exploring how Christian faith impacts the workplace. The guest speaker will be David Blevins, Sky News Ireland correspondent. Dates have yet to be finalised for these workshops.
