About the Course
The two–year Bishop’s Certificate Course facilitates individuals in a deeper study of Scripture and may challenge them to develop a calling or ministry.
The course runs on one evening each week for seven weeks per term over three terms and those who successfully complete both years receive a certificate signed by Bishop Harold.
Topics covered include: Why is the Bible so important?; How did the Bible come to us?; Why is the nation of Israel so important?; What we can understand of the God of the Bible?; Who is Jesus?; What is the message of the four gospels?; What does St. Paul tell us?; and much more.
The course is organized and taught by Canon Robert Neill, Rector of Drumbo.
There are one or two places still available for the course starting in October which will be allocated on a first–come basis.
