- how people belong to each other and to organisations
- the challenge of implicit religion
- the shapes and forms of contemporary spirituality
- how science, technology and Christian faith can co-exist

Presence and Prophecy - A Heart for Mission in Theological Education |
How does theological education equip people to face the challenges of mission and ministry in a changing world? How does Christian presence in society make a difference, and how can the Churches speak prophetically of God´s purposes today?
This book suggests how theological education can provide essential opportunities to find encouraging and helpful answers to these questions. It explores the kind of world we live in and asks what kind of teaching and learning experiences help Christians to become people with hearts for mission. It takes a fresh look at elements of the theological curriculum and suggests a new vision and hope for all the Churches. Presence and a Prophecy is also accompanied by a study guide.

Presence and Prophecy - A Heart for Mission in Theological Education: Study Guide |
|
Presence and Prophecy is an extensive resource for everyone involved in theological education to help rethink its challenges. Students and teachers in theological colleges, seminaries, courses and schemes will find it useful, but it is also relevant to those involved with Christian basics courses, local church study groups and other informal educational events.
This Study Guide will help many different groups tackle the different issues raised in Presence and Prophecy. It lays out some ways of engaging with the ideas in the book, linking the themes and joining in an important conversation about how the Churches in mission can really make a difference in people´s lives.
Whilst this Study Guide contains a summary of the material in the main book, it will be difficult to use to full effect without a copy of the full report Presence and Prophecy.

Transparencies - Pictures of Mission through Prayer and Reflection |
What do Sister Wendy, the Muppets, Harry Potter and a sculpture of Jesus on the cross have in common? The answer is that they can all provide a focus for prayer and reflection which in turn can be used to help us see more clearly how God is at work in and through our contemporary culture.
This book of prayers and reflections includes extracts from books, poems, pictures and pieces of music which, like transparencies, or photographic negatives ready for development, have colours and images waiting to be discovered.
This imaginative collection, road tested by the ecumenical Mission Theological Advisory Group, is suitable for all kinds of prayer and study groups and can be used as a Lent or Advent course.
