Learn more from and about Celtic Christian spirituality with this 10 month correspondence course.  Each month you will receive some teaching via email about Celtic Christian spirituality; the Celtic church and prominent figures from within it.  It will guide you to study and read more on the month's subject and people, then each month you are required to write a short (between 500 – 1,000 words) response to the subject based on your reading and study, send it to your tutor and they will comment on it. Your response should be based upon what you think of the teaching, what further reading you have done, and how the subject can be made relevant to your life and spiritual walk today.

The course has two start dates, February (T1) and September (T2) and the topics are as follows:
T1/T2
