LIMEX                            

 

PLEASE NOTE (AUTUMN 2010): 

The Archdiocese is currently forming a cohort of students to begin a LIMEX programme in the coming months. If you are interested in joining this exciting programme, please contact us here at the R.E  Department AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. RE@rcag.org.uk

 

THE CHALLENGE

Today, a new generation of ministers and educators, most of them lay people, are taking up the challenge of church leadership to offer their gifts to the service of the People of God.

This has created a need to provide these new ministers with an informed and contemporary theological vision, professional competence, and practical ministerial skills.

 
THE RESPONSE
To fulfill this need the Archdiocese of Glasgow and the Archdiocese of St. Andrews and Edinburgh, in co-operation with the Loyola Institute for Ministry, New Orleans, offer the following courses:
   
A certificate in Religious Education or Pastoral Studies
A post-graduate master's degree in Religious Education or Pastoral Studies
   
THE PROGRAMME
   
The programme is made up of 12 courses each with 10 sessions
Each sessions consists of a 3 hour learning and reflection study group led by a trained facilitator and using printed manuals, videotapes and other selected texts.
   
 
THE PEOPLE
The programme is designed to provide people in a variety of ministerial roles with the information and practical expertise demanded by their situation.
   
Men and women who are seeking to bring their faith to bear more directly on their work and witness.
Diocesan and parish workers involved in various forms of church life and ministry.
Clergy and Religious seeking on-going formation.
The LIMEX programme's educational philosophy and curriculum are based on sound principles of adult education and theological reflection.
