Programmes

Three new training programme groups have started, whose members will be ordained in the summer of 2010. Our programme of open days for the next intake can be viewed at http://www.interfaithfoundation.org/content/introductory-days.  In the meantime, if you would like to find out more by speaking with a member of faculty by phone instead, we would be happy to arrange this. If so, please contact the office as soon as possible. The training options for students are:

  • London weekend option:  

The first year starts with a 3-day residential weekend near London, continuing with six more weekends (each involving two training days, 9.30 to 5.30, in London, with students arranging their own accommodation), and finishes with a 3-day residential retreat in the summer. The second year will also involve seven weekends and a final retreat.

  • Fully residential weekend option:  

This involves five long weekends per year, each running Friday evening to Sunday, plus the summertime retreat. It is open to everyone who prefers a residential setting, and may also be of particular interest to students from outside the UK, as it will involve travelling less often than for the other options. In 2009-2011 it is likely that the residential option will be available at a new West of England centre near Gloucester.
