The Council for World Mission (CWM) invites applications for their Face to Face programme. Face to Face is for theological students.
The programme Building Life-Affirming Communities: Face To Face with the many poor and the many faiths in Asia will be held 12 Feb-24 Mar 2018 and will be conducted in both Bishop’s College, Kolkata and Henry Martin Institute, Hyderabad, India.
Face to Face is a six-week programme that aims to invite the students preparing for ministry to understand how the fullness of life is being denied to a large majority of the world’s population. Participants will come face to face with the issues of poverty and pluralism, specifically within the Asian context of many religions; to engage in a global dialogue on theology, spirituality and mission through intercultural exchange and theological reflection by facilitating immersion programmes, Bible studies and seminars reflecting on doing mission in the context of Empire.
