Go deeper into the truth, grow in your understanding and strengthen your relationship with God. That was the challenge presented to the fellowship in 2009.

The School of Theology was a series of talks on some of the great truths of the Christian faith, with group discussion and plenary sessions with the speaker. The sessions were held from 9.30am to 1pm on the third Saturday of each month from January to June 2009, at All Saints’ Church, Marple.

The series were aimed at undstanding the key doctrines of the faith and their implications for how we know God and live faithfully in relationship with Him. Speakers included Peter Forster, Mark Tanner, Ian Paul and Ian Parkinson. Course notes were provided along with recommendations for further reading.
