Spirituality for Christian Discipleship – online class with CITI

Wednesday May 20th 2020

The Church of Ireland Theological Institute – the new class in Spirituality for Christian Discipleship will be run virtually.

The Church of Ireland Theological Institute (CITI) has announced a new initiative aimed at offering resources for Christian discipleship to lay people.

Over the course of four weeks in June, institute staff will offer a one-hour virtual class online. This course offers resources for your spiritual life and opportunities to learn new practices of Christian discipleship to resource your faith during social distancing.

Weekly meetings through Zoom led by members of CITI’s academic staff will include a presentation and interactive discussion about practices of Christian spirituality and will conclude with an exercise or activity for you to try at home. By gathering, praying and learning with the same group of Christians weekly, you will also receive encouragement and fellowship and offer these gifts to others.

Classes will be held on Monday mornings from 11am until 12 noon, beginning on June 8. Class schedule is as follows:

8 June: Knowing God: An Invitation to the Journey of Discipleship
Revd Canon Dr Maurice Elliott

15 June: Spirituality in a time of abstinence: lockdown with Mary Magdalene
Dr Brigid Nichols

22 June: Spirituality and Failure: Seeing Ourselves in a New Light
