Someone recently suggested I look at some options for further study, and initially, I was *ahem* less than enthusiastic. I took a gap year before doing my degree, and have taken a year out afterwards, and thought of days of lectures and library for another however many years left me cold. I want to actually live life, rather than just learning about it. I love a tasty bit of academic study, I thought I'd reach the point where I wanted to learn from experience and making mistakes and learning from God what works and what does not. I want to be out in the world loving people out loud and building the Kingdom.
But then I had to eat a little bit of humble pie... I did some research into the options for a theology MA, and found a Missional Leadership MA that would only have two days of teaching PER TERM. Not even I could complain about that. And then I found a course at Kings London that looks like someone jumped in my head, worked out my ideal MA, and made it. Theology, Politics and Faith-based Organisations looks at where church and culture collide, and trends in the modern church, and generally looks like a beautiful, cutting-edge course of study. Application process begins now...
