These weekly open seminars are run by our Chaplain, The Revd Dr Andrew Teal, and will take place every Thursday during term-time from 13:05 to 13:55, in the Chaplain's Room (ground floor of Staircase 10, Chapel Quad). All students of any subject are welcome, as well as any interested participants from local faith communities and the wider city.

Whilst there is a particular relevance for theologians (by providing unusual primary material and broad discussion), this is an opportunity for honest discussion, dialogue, and exploration, in which members of the wider community are warmly invited to participate.

Please feel free to bring your own lunch.

A Handbook of material and bibliographical references will be available electronically. Please do not hesitate to contact the Chaplain for further information.
