What have past students said?
I wanted to be equipped for leadership in every way. The course has taught me to read the Bible, expanded my imagination and made me hungry to understand Scripture better. I've been so excited and inspired by what I've learnt I just want more. I love the God I'm discovering!

I wanted a theological framework that could make reasoned sense of tradition and charismatic experiences. WTC did this for me.

I like the emphasis on studying orthodox, academic theology combined with the faith perspective of the principal and staff and the opportunity to pray after the lectures and allow the Holy Spirit to apply to our hearts what we learned in our heads. The impact of studying at WTC has been in changing the way I think and approach the Bible, it has helped unleash the life-changing power of what has been there all along.

Concepts and image-systems which appear throughout the Bible - humanity made in the image of God, the Son of Man, the temple, the Genesis narrative - have gone from being familiar weirdnesses, to hugely engaging and exciting in their contextualised and applied meaning. I suddenly have a vocabulary to understand (and explain and explore) the Bible that I simply didn't have before. This is extremely exciting and empowering, both personally and in my work.

The focus of the teaching is so pioneering; it was refreshing and challenging in equal measure.
Tim – Ordained Minister |

Through the teaching I found a new way to talk about what I do - how my work fits into the incredible story of what God has done through history, and what he is doing through us in our world today. It has been engaging, subverting, surprising, challenging and transforming.
Anna – International Development Advisor |

The most significant thing is that I no longer feel that all the questions I have must be tidied up and answered before I can be a 'real' Christian. I can have faith and hope in the face of many difficult and complex issues.

The seminars are both interactive and fun, as we all encourage each other and learn from each other.

Its like prising open boxes of fireworks, letting them off one by one and discussing the fall-out in the presence of a committed tutor, other inquiring students, and the Holy Spirit.
